Disclosure: Nielsen-Massey Vanillas, Bob’s Red Mill, Silpat, Quirk Books and Dixie Crystals/Imperial Sugar are providing the prizes free of charge. These companies are also providing the bloggers with samples and product to use for #VanillaWeek. All opinions stated are my own.

I love flavors. I love textures. I even love colors. I And I especially love contrasting but balanced flavors and textures, even moreso when there are pretty colors. Give me something creamy filled with chunks. Something smooth with an element of crunch. Then add some velvety swirls or satiny ripples for good measure. If it’s fruity, I want something nutty for balance. Sweet and salty – I’m all in. Chocolate and peanut butter – #winning. Black with white, butternut squash orange with cranberry-red pomegranates and a white pop of goat cheese.

So why, oh why would I make something that looks like this…

Because it’s #VanillaWeek, and our awesome sponsor Nielsen-Massey Vanillas sent me a selection of extracts and, my favorite, Vanilla Bean Paste. Do you want to talk about the most pure, intense vanilla flavor? You’ve got it right here. So I knew that I had to make a recipe that truly celebrated this amazing vanilla, but I had to add a little something to it. Soooo, Vanilla Bean Cheesecake No-Churn Ice Cream. Really, what more could you want? It’s rich, it’s creamy, it tastes just like cheesecake, only better because, well, it’s ice cream. And, beyond that, it’s ice cream that doesn’t require and ice cream machine to make it.

The tang of the cream cheese gives this ice cream that true cheesecake-iness, but the essence of the vanilla still shines through, with neither of the flavors overpowering the other. And it’s smooth and just absolutely luscious. I am so tempted to just grab another scoop or two as I sit here writing this. And I already had some tonight. It’s that good, people!

If I want some color, I’ll just add a purple background and some pink and red spoons…
