Three whole scraped vanilla beans give this glorious, rich cheesecake telltale black specks of tropical flavor. This makes a big batch, so you might have enough to make some mini cheesecakes too.

Sauce Anglaise

Submitted by: Curlay 
This is a vanilla sauce that you can use with souffles, ice cream, or almost any other desserts that would normally go well with vanilla. This is not for beginners, it is very difficult to gauge the correct temperature and not overcook the eggs without a candy thermometer.

Cherry Clafouti

Submitted by: LAURIEZ 
An original French dessert recipe of my grandmother's, tweaked a bit to be lower in fat! It's best made with fresh fruit and is delicious with a dollop of lite whipped topping. If you want to make it the original way, not low-fat, just use regular milk and butter and 4 large eggs. Also, to substitute for kirsch, you may use the juice from five squashed cherries or use 1 tablespoon of cherry syrup.
