@psychocandy That’s tragic. I can’t come up with anything to do with the vanilla bean that doesn’t involve dairy except maybe vanilla sugar. That would at least stretch the use of it out. You can then us the vanilla bean in sugar in any number of other things.
1 whole vanilla bean
2 cups granulated sugar
Directions for vanilla sugar:
Place the vanilla bean into a glass jar and completely cover it with the sugar.
Close the lid making sure it is airtight.
Shake the container once a day to help the aroma of the vanilla permeate throughout the sugar.
The sugar is ready to be used within two weeks.
The vanilla bean can be reused to flavor additional granulated sugar.
Discard the vanilla bean when it is no longer aromatic.
Though @liminal‘s coconut milk pudding sounds really good. Coconut and vanilla. You can’t go wrong there.
