[[File:Vanilla_Ice_Cream_Cone_at_Camp_Manitoulin.jpg|thumb|Vanilla ice cream served on an [[ice cream cone]]]] [[File:Chocolate_sauce_and_vanilla_icrecream.jpg|thumb|[[Dame blanche (dessert)]]]] [[Vanilla]] is a common flavor in [[ice cream]], especially in [[North America]] and other countries. '''Vanilla ice cream''' was originally made by cooling a mixture of cream, sugar, and vanilla above a container of ice and salt. The type of vanilla used to give the flavour to the ice cream depends by places. In North America and parts of [[Europe]], people are interested in a more smoky flavor, while in [[Ireland]], an [[anise]] flavor is used. To create the smooth texture of ice cream, the mixture is stirred many times and then goes back to the container of ice and salt to continue the process. Many people often consider vanilla to be the normal flavor of ice cream. ==Related pages== *[[Chocolate ice cream]] [[Category:Ice cream]] {{ice cream}} {{food-stub}}
