Summary

Van Leeuwen Vanilla Bean scores 79/100. Seven recognizable ingredients — cream, milk, cane sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract, sea salt, and whole vanilla bean — in a true French custard pint. No gums, emulsifiers, seed oils, corn syrup, or natural flavors. Tahitian vanilla bean specks plus real extract. Main drawback: refined cane sugar — 15g added sugars per serving (30% DV). Cleaner than Honeycomb (75) and Affogato (68); one point above Sicilian Pistachio (78) for premium dual-vanilla flavoring with the same gum-free profile.
