Vanilla sugar is granulated sugar infused with natural vanilla, usually by storing sugar with vanilla beans or mixing in scraped seeds or extract. Common in European baking, it adds both sweetness and a gentle vanilla aroma without extra liquid, making it ideal where vanilla extract might disturb texture. It is shelf-stable, easy to prepare at home, and can replace part or all of regular sugar in recipes. Vanilla sugar is also used as a finishing touch, sprinkled over desserts, fruit, or foam toppings.
Sweet, fragrant, with soft natural vanilla notes.
Used to sweeten and aromatize coffee, tea, whipped cream, baked goods, and desserts; can substitute regular sugar in cocktails where you want both sweetness and a subtle vanilla layer (e.g., syrups, shaken dessert drinks).
