Vanilla Ice Cream

Vanilla ice cream

Vanilla ice cream is a dessert flavoured with vanilla beans, vanilla extract, or synthetic vanillin that is especially common in North America, Asia, and Europe. The type of vanilla used varies by location: in North America and Europe for instance, prominent, smoky flavors are more common, while in Ireland, an anise-like flavor is more frequently used. Many people consider vanilla to be the "default" flavor of ice cream, although plain ice cream without any flavouring is also available.

Ice cream

Ice cream is a frozen dessert typically made from milk or cream that has been flavoured with a sweetener, either sugar or an alternative, and a spice, such as cocoa or vanilla, or with fruit, such as strawberries or peaches. Food colouring is sometimes added in addition to stabilizers. The mixture is cooled below the freezing point of water and stirred to incorporate air spaces and prevent detectable ice crystals from forming. It can also be made by whisking a flavoured cream base and liquid nitrogen together. The result is a smooth, semi-solid foam that is solid at very low temperatures. It becomes more malleable as its temperature increases.
