Tahitian Vanilla Ice Cream

This year, summer isn’t fully there. Except for those who live in perfect places like the Cote d’Azur in France. But for people like me, it seems that sweaters are more often  on the table than swimming suits !! Whatever ! This will not keep us from the usual summer pleasures : Tahitian Vanilla ice cream for everyone !!

If I mention Tahitian vanilla, it’s just because it’s the one I prefer. A delicate but strong taste, something you have to try once !! I was lucky to have the products from Tahiti Vanille, they are just amazing ! Price goes with it, I won’t lie, but what a difference !! A perfect delight ! My little birds even told me that this vanilla is used by many famous chefs. Isn’t it the strongest selling point ? 🙂

Don’t worry though, you can easily make the recipe with “average” vanilla. In this case, I recommend to add one more vanilla bean to the recipe in order to assure the right vanilla taste of your ice cream.

Before starting with the recipe, make sure you have enough time since it requires 10 to 12 hours in your freezer.

Okay now, are you ready ? The recipe chef !!
