They're super easy and I love the addition of the vanilla, I've not tried that despite it now appearing obvious, and I'm all for adding vanilla to virtually anything :D

They sound great! Since my daughter is intolerant to milk (although fingers crossed seems to be getting more tolerant) I might give these a go with coconut milk...they won't be as creamy but I am sure they will be just as delicious!
