Review of Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Flavor-FW:

This flavor definitely has it's ups and downs for me. It's comparable to TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, but not quite as good in my personal opinion. This is a great flavor for a cream base, and it's very versatile for that. Mixing with more dairy based creamers can create a nice milk base, and can also be used to give either a low, or a high, amount of vanilla properties to a recipe depending on the percentage used. In my opinion, this isn't a great flavor for an ice cream recipe. Many people would disagree with this though, and this is simply my personal taste, but I get more of a buttery, vanilla heavy cream with some minor dairy aspects that doesn't quite hit the mark as an ice cream flavor. Mixing with other ingredients could definitely allow you to achieve an ice cream flavor. FA Marshmallow or CAP Vanilla Bean Ice Cream do well to achieve this. I do enjoy using this flavor in certain mixtures, but I definitely enjoy TFA's version more. However, this is a great option if you get the "black pepper" taste that some do from TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Definitely a must have ingredient because of it's versatility.
