[kathy]

vanilla extract do I use? I'm making a vanilla bean cheesecake, it calls for 2 vanilla beans split lengthwise. How much vanilla extract do I use

[postres20022000]

1-3 tsp. depending on how strong you would like it to be...... Do a taste test....

I have a bottle of vanilla bean paste that says:
1 vanilla bean = 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
1 tsp vanilla bean paste = 1 tsp vanilla extract

So, according to this bottle, 2 vanilla beans would equal 2 tsp vanilla extract. But, I think vanilla is my secret ingredient in everything, add a little extra! I swear, people think I make magical rice crispy treats, but I just add vanilla extract to the marshmallows!
