Vanilla Ice Cream
Vanilla Ice Cream (/vəˈnɪlə aɪs ˈkriːm/) is a popular flavor of Ice Cream, a frozen dessert made from dairy products such as milk and cream, combined with sugar and flavorings. The term 'Vanilla' refers to the flavor derived from the Vanilla orchid's beans.
Etymology
The term 'Vanilla' comes from the Spanish word 'vainilla', meaning 'little pod'. The term 'Ice Cream' is derived from the phrase 'iced cream' or 'cream ice', which was first documented in 1744.
Ingredients
The primary ingredients in Vanilla Ice Cream include Milk, Cream, Sugar, and Vanilla Extract. Some variations may also include Egg Yolks for a custard-style ice cream.
Production
Vanilla Ice Cream is produced by combining the ingredients in a mixture, which is then churned and frozen to create a creamy consistency. The Vanilla Extract is often added during the churning process to evenly distribute the flavor.
Variations
There are several variations of Vanilla Ice Cream, including French Vanilla, which includes egg yolks for a richer flavor and smoother texture, and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, which includes specks of vanilla bean for a more intense vanilla flavor.
