This was so tasty. The real vanilla bean seeds add a very nice touch that you won't find with the bottled vanilla extract. I'll remember this recipe for holiday time, when it's always a treat to serve homemade goodies that we don%u2019t splurge on the rest of the year. Thank you for sharing your recipe, Xabbyy.
