What is vanilla bean paste?

Vanilla bean paste is a rich, concentrated alternative to vanilla extract, characterized by the tiny black seeds from vanilla bean pods. While vanilla extract can serve as a substitute, vanilla bean paste adds a unique depth of flavor.

Insights from the Test Kitchen

This dessert achieves its most visually appealing result when using orange carrots. If you prefer different colors, it’s essential to use a single hue throughout, as a blend of colors can produce an unappetizing grey appearance.

Preparation Tips

You can prepare the pot de crème in advance. When stored properly in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped with plastic, it will remain fresh for up to five days.
