Disney Dreamlight Valley has an assortment of items that players can use to craft different items to use around their Valley or in their homes, as well as ingredients that players use to cook meals to be consumed by them or other valley residents. Creating certain meals is a great way to also boost friendship levels with your villagers or complete a quest.
Some recipes require ingredients that are harder to find, or ones that are exclusive to certain biomes. This can make it difficult for players to know exactly which biomes certain ingredients can be found or bought in. This is especially true of spices, which appear as small plants growing. Spices are an important part of many of the Disney Dreamlight Valley dishes, and vanilla is just one such flavoring. Here's how players can get their hands on it.
Where To Find Vanilla
Like many of the spices in Disney Dreamlight Valley, vanilla is a leafy green plant that can be seen growing out of the ground. It can be found in the Sunlit Plateau biome. Usually there isn't much of it growing, but players can find one or two that are available to harvest throughout the day. Vanilla cannot be purchased from any of Goofy's Stalls, unlike a lot of the other spices in the game, so players will need to find it for themselves.
Vanilla can be used to make meals like Vanilla Ice Cream, which is a four-star recipe that involves simple ingredients like slush ice, vanilla, milk, and sugarcane. Vanilla can also be used in other spices in some recipes that allow for any spice, instead of one specific spice.
Vanilla is an ingredient that players might find themselves needing more than they think, so it's smart to keep some on hand in storage chests. If a player makes the choice to sell vanilla, they will only receive 60 Star Coins, making Vanilla one of the higher priced ingredients besides mint.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
