It's high time that we give credit to the most underrated dessert flavor – vanilla! Sure, it's a well-established favorite flavor, but we tend to forget about it in favor of chocolate, caramel or strawberry. This flavor deserves appreciation! Here are some amazing classic list of vanilla dessert recipes that are anything but boring:
A true classic! These scrumptious, moist and flavorful vanilla cupcakes blow all the others out of the water.
We love brownies, but sometimes we forget about their exciting, buttery vanilla cousin that are every bit as decadent. Impress your friends with these, or just make a batch and eat it all yourself – we won't tell.
The ultimate indulgence! If you want something a little easier, try this version.
4. Nectarine, Blueberry and Vanilla Bean Hand Pies
If you like pop tarts, you'll Iove these homemade fruit hand pies! They are great for dessert or breakfast, whatever floats your boat.
It's actually pretty easy to make pudding from scratch – just stir everything over the stove in a saucepan. Plus, it's so much more delicious than the boxed stuff.
6. Salty Vanilla Bean Sugar Cookies
Salted caramel needs to get out of the way! These salty vanilla bean sugar cookies are better than any caramel cookie.
That's right – it's easy to make yourself! If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can easily adapt using the instructions here.
