What to Make with Vanilla Essence
Cakes, cupcakes and cookies
Puff-puff, chin chin and doughnuts
Custard, pap, oatmeal and pancakes
Drinks: milkshakes, smoothies and punch
How Much to Use
Start with about 1 teaspoon for a cake or a batch made with 2 to 3 cups of flour, and adjust to taste. For drinks or custard, a few drops are usually enough.
Choose Your Pack
Buy 1, 2, 5 or 10 bottles and save on the bigger packs, so you never run out mid-recipe.
What is the difference between vanilla essence and vanilla extract? Both add vanilla flavor. Essences are usually a flavoring blend, while pure extract is made from vanilla beans. Use them the same way in recipes and adjust to taste.
How should I store it? Keep it tightly closed in a cool, dark place.

I knew this from the Caribbean when I left the country. It's the number one season in the Caribbean I fell in love with the seasoning it's good on everything I will continue to use that only
Not sure but I wanted to try the product because I heard good reviews from other people, but I’ve never bought from this actual store and it made me break out in hives.
I bought this in Ghana 6 years ago, and was devastated that I couldn't find it anywhere in the US. Its great that I found a site that holds it. Its extremely moisturizing and silky, it makes my skin feel and smell fantastic. It has a strong coco butter scent, but it isn't pure coco butter. So if you're looking for that, this isn't the product for you. Its like a coco butter lotion.
My order arrived on time and was surprisingly well packaged. I was worried because I’ve ordered from other African sellers online, and my packages have arrived broken due to poor packaging or without tracking updates. I used this order as a test, and I’ll definitely be ordering more from Yado soon.
These African coconut chin chin are absolutely delicious! The perfect balance of sweetness and coconut flavor with an amazing crunch.
I can’t stop eating these! Crispy, flavorful, and packed with just the right amount of coconut. 😋
