After realizing I had never posted a recipe for a simple chocolate ice cream, let alone made one (you can read more about that here). I knew that I had never posted the recipe I use for my vanilla ice cream. So here is your plain and simple, basic vanilla ice cream recipe, perfect for shakes, or eating in a bowl with toppings.
