Divine Vanilla Desserts That You Might Actually Prefer Over Chocolate

by

I’m going to let that title sink in for a minute. “Vanilla desserts… Better than chocolate or chocolate desserts?!” you must be asking yourself. Yes. Better than chocolate. I’m 100% serious. I mean, just look at those cupcakes!

But let’s back up a minute here. There’s something you have to know about me first: In real life, I actually prefer vanilla desserts (and fruity desserts) to chocolate desserts. It’s heresy, I know, but I can’t help it. Vanilla just has a sweet and alluring flavor to it that satisfies me in ways chocolate can’t. I know that sounds crazy but I can’t help what flavors I fall in love with.

Oh, and to answer your most pressing question, yes, I frequently choose vanilla ice cream (or flavors that use vanilla ice cream) over chocolate ice cream. Sorry not sorry.

Anyway, vanilla desserts. They’re delicious. Vanilla cake recipes, vanilla cupcake recipes, vanilla baked goods… They all have a light and sweet flavor that just can’t be matched, thanks to the fact that they’re made with vanilla.

I know what you must be thinking: “Of course vanilla desserts are made with vanilla! Duh!” Yes. That’s true. But what I’m trying to say is that vanilla has this rich flavor that’s all its own. It gives a flavor depth that can’t be matched. What other flavor do you know that is light and sweet, and yet has a dark, warm, and comforting flavor depth to it?

Okay, okay. I’ll stop fangirling over vanilla desserts. But first, you’ve got to check out my favorites. They may just make your to-do list for the week. (Please let me know if you do make any of them! I’d love to hear what you think!)
