I just had the best tasting vanilla ice cream and this inspired me to use real vanilla beans
This is fantastic! I am a small business that only use premium homemade simple ingredients and I will definitely use your instructions. I do have one question... How do you preserve the powder for the longest time possible? Type of container, lighting, freezer, airtight sealed? Thank you
Thank you this is awesome knowlwdge.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the info! I appreciate that you took your time and discussed details. Would you recommend any uses for vanilla beans that were used for extract? Or, are they trash?
They really aren’t any good for anything but maybe potpourri. They don’t have any flavor to impart once they’re extracted.
how do you store it?
In an airtight container in a cool dry place.
I took my kitchen scale to Costco because they sold by count and weight was so different even in same brand. still a good deal this year.
Hi, have you ever gotten a weird mold ring? I cleaned my machine without water and just by removing the chocolate and haven’t used it in a month while it was in my garage. I opened the lid and saw these small rings that look as though it might be mold or bacteria. Has this happened to you or anyone? Wondering if we can just use vinegar to kill it. I’m just confused because I thought chocolate didn’t mold.
Where were these rings?
I just got this tempering machine, having trouble starting the machine. Can you help me through the process of starting it?
What is the proper way to store this vanilla bean powder? Cool dry place or in the fridge? I Plan on using this ground vanilla, bean powder in my smoothies.
Since vanilla bean powder has virtually no water in it, it's best to be stored in a cool dry place in a sealed container. You don't want it getting cold in the fridge and then attracting moist air to it when you remove it from the fridge. It could potentially mold that way. So, a cool dry place it is.
@@aromachocolates ty for the info
Do you have a video on how to work the machine? I just bought one and the instructions and video contradicts itself. I’m struggling to melt the chocolate entirely. I watched this video and cleaned my machine. Thank you for the clear explanation.
No, sorry. Wish I did.
What temp in the dehydrator?
The dehydrator we used doesn’t have a temperature setting. But, if yours does, I would suggest using the lowest setting and watching to see how it’s doing. If it seems to not be drying out the vanilla very quickly, then try a slightly higher setting. The key is to dry them, not bake them.
It makes me crazy that there are people who don’t weigh vanilla beans every time. It makes zero sense, and they would never do it with any ingredient as expensive as vanilla beans.
100% agree.
I’m gonna use your technique and give this a shot. I just received another pound of Madagascar beans, and I already have a dehydrator and spice grinder so I’m good to go.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
So you can use the whole bean pod?
Yes.
Hello, Can we use something other than alcohol to clean? Also did I miss the dehydrator temperature to use? Can I store it in a food saver bag? How long should it last? Thank you!
You can rinse them with water. A low temperature will be fine if your dehydrator has the ability to set a temp. No need to store in a food saver bag, as there isn't anything that will mold or go bad. Just store in an air-tight container. It will last a couple years or until you run out.
@@aromachocolates Thank you! I have an Excalibur that starts at 105 degrees. Anything under 115 is considered raw. So should these be "raw" or higher heat? What temperature do you use? Thank you!
If I cut it with a really sharp knife repeatedly even though it would take a long time will it still turn into powder
No
One more question if I use dehydrator will they shrink or would they shrink in the oven
Regardless of the method, they will shrink some. ALL food that is dehydrated will shrink.
Also will the flavor be the same either way meaning dehydrator and oven
Yes it will.
I'm actually going to grow them because they're really expensive for one vanilla bean it's like $18 at the store so that's why I'm thinking if I use dehydrator am I going to have particles wasted stuck to the plastic or should I just do the baking sheet one
You will NOT have anything stuck to your dehydrator. Additionally, growing vanilla beans is extremely hard and a practice in futility. They require very specialized care and cannot be grown successfully in a home. Go to slofoodgroup.com to buy vanilla beans. Thank me later.
If I'm not mistaken you are using the broiler part unless you have a double oven if that's the case how come you didn't use the top part I'm just curious because I want to make sure I do it right if I do it that way where were the powder dust go
Not using the broiler. If you notice, I said I'm turning the oven on at the lowest setting, about 170F, and then shutting it off and turning on the light. This will dry out the beans just fine.
Great tutorial Chef. I am using your process for my vanilla business. Thank you for the insights.
Glad it was helpful!
I don’t think he used this dehydrator yet as the instruction sheet was still inside the machine.
I DID use the dehydrator. I keep the instructions inside.
❤❤❤❤
I can’t believe I didn’t subscribe when you started…sorry John!
No worries! Thanks for subscribing!
Very educational and love your teachings from Papua New Guinea. Thank you for promoting our vanilla beans to the rest of the world. We have huge potential to supply the world market.
PNG beans are some of my absolute favorite vanilla beans. MUCH better than Madagascar.
One more question - how do you store them while they liquify? Everyone ate the ones I just made so apparently I need to make more! They had no chance to actually liquify. But they were really good and clearly I should make some more and find a way to store them 😅
I store them at room temp on sheet pans with covers.
@@aromachocolates good idea! It’s just hard getting my family to stay out of them long enough to liquify 😂 my 4 year old scaled my cabinets to grab some…
Beautiful ❤. To wash the vanilla, did you use pure alcohol or mixed with water?
Vodka. You can also use plain water. Either doesn’t matter, as long as you’re rinsing the to remove any physical contaminants.
Hello, I enjoy your videos. I hope you would consider doing more vanilla extract making videos. You are so knowledgeable, it would be very helpful for us viewers because there is so much misinformation on the internet.
I’m planning on making a definitive guide to making vanilla extract at home. Keep an eye out for it in the coming months. Thanks for watching!
How thick do you make your shells? I think I made mine too thin and they stuck to my mold :( your fondant is also thinner than mine, maybe I should have added more liquid…
Shells are about 2mm thick. For my fondant, I’m just heating it up and piping it while it’s around 85°F. There is a little added syrup or liqueur added to make it even more pipable. But not much. You want the invertase or alcohol to do the liquifying of the fondant.
@@aromachocolates one of these days I’ll try again 😅 I did try making shells again and I finally got it! My first time I tapped the mold way too much so they were really thin. Oops. At least my family didn’t really care about presentation, only me 🤷♀️
@@aromachocolates thanks for putting this out there and helping! Even with all my mistakes they still taste better than that Queen Anne junk I used to eat 🤢
Loved your video on making vanilla powder - thank you John !
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Love this video. It's really well made! And the guy has a lot of charisma! Well done! Can you dry the beans using sunlight? If so, how long? I'm in the tropics.
Thank you for the kind words! 😊 You MIGHT be able to dry the beans in the sun. However, if you’re in the tropics, it may be too humid outside to dry the beans in the sun. If you do try it, I would use a mosquito netting over them to keep the insects and other pests off.
how about just dehydrating the seeds inside? would that make the flavor richer? you would only get like 15% of what you did tho. i think it would be a strong as hell 15% however!
The seeds inside the pod have no flavor and contain no vanillin. It's the placental tissue (the "goo") surrounding the seeds that has the vanillin. Some of it makes its way into the flesh of the pod. So, dehydrating the seeds would do nothing. Besides, it would be an incredibly time consuming process to just get the seeds out.
I already make vanilla extract and vanilla bean paste. Why would I need vanilla bean powder? What would be the differences/benefits?
Some recipes call for vanilla powder because they need dry ingredients. If you put an extract or even a paste into a dry recipe, you could ruin it. There's A LOT of great uses for vanilla powder too, not just for cooking. It can be used in soaps, teas, and scrubs.
@@aromachocolates Thank you for the explanation. It makes sense now. Another jar will be added to my stash of vanilla bean: extract, paste, sugar, and salt 🥰
I make a shelf-stable coffee creamer powder that I put vanilla powder in.
👍🌺👍🌺👍🌺
These look terrific and I love your enrober. I have a couple questions, if you don't mind. 1) Curious why you chose to leave the vanilla beans in the mixture when pouring into the mold vs removing before adding the dairy to the caramel? 2) Did you use tempered chocolate for the foot, or untempered? Lastly, would you be willing to share this recipe at some point? Well done!
1) leaving the vanilla in the mixture helps to strengthen the vanilla flavor in the caramel. So leave the vanilla pods in as long as possible. 2) tempered. 3) Sorry, but we don't share our recipes. We worked hard to develop our own.
This was so helpful! The instruction guide that came with our tap was extremely unclear on how to clean. You just saved my day! I’m wondering how often you tend to clean your machine?
I only clean it when I’m changing chocolate or not using it for a while. Also, in the video I used a stick to wrench out the stirring paddle out of the bowl. DO NOT DO THIS. Use a small rubber mallet and gently tap it so it comes loose. Much easier.
Excellent teaching well made video.
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful! Thanks!!
You're welcome!
what is the temperature for your caramel?
No more than 235°F
Very informative. Thank you!👍
My pleasure!
That is a stunning vanilla bean! Do you know where you had gotten it from?

Can you rinse them in water instead of alcohol ? Thank you
Yes you can. But rinsing them in alcohol isn’t going to hurt anything. Especially if you’re going to be putting them in vodka to make vanilla extract.
Price?
You’ll have to contact TCF Sales about that.
Would the beans dry any better if they are split? When done grinding in my coffee grinder I turn it upside down and tap, shake and thump so all the goodies go into the lid before opening! Just a thought. I was just thinking about making powder, and here I find your tutorial! Perfect timing!! Thanks!
Yes. Splitting the beans would help them dry faster.
Where can I find this recipe? Thanks
Don’t have it published yet.
How do I temper chocolate?
I’ll be doing a video on that some time in the near future.
Thanks John!
THANKS!
