Vanilla essence is a synthetic, alcohol-free stand-in for extract. Swap teaspoon-for-teaspoon, but essence delivers a milder, single-note flavour, so a touch more (about 1.25 tsp essence per 1 tsp extract) helps if you want a closer match. See vanilla essence in tablespoons.

Vanilla bean paste is thicker than extract and carries visible seeds for the speckled finish people love in ice cream and crème brûlée. Swap teaspoon-for-teaspoon; paste brings stronger vanilla notes and a touch of added sweetness from its sugar base. See vanilla bean paste in tablespoons.
