Very Hey La La Vanilla Ice Cream
Scoop up the magic—creamy vanilla bean ice cream with the real deal: Heilala Vanilla.
Although this recipe is not the famed Killer Vanilla Ice Cream it is still really very good.
When it comes to creating truly exceptional vanilla ice cream, the quality of your vanilla makes all the difference—and that's where Heilala shines. Sourced from sustainable farms in Tonga and loved by pastry chefs around the world, Heilala Vanilla is renowned for its rich, complex flavour and pure aroma. In this Thermomix recipe, we let the vanilla take centre stage, using real Heilala vanilla bean paste to infuse the ice cream with deep, creamy notes and unmistakable luxury. The result is a smooth, scoopable treat that’s anything but ordinary—simple, elegant, and a true showcase of premium ingredients.
We have loved Heilala since the beginning of their culinary journey and ours, so we do recommend popping over to the store and taking a look at our range of Heilala products. You can never regret quality!
