Vanilla Ice-cream, Icecream

Vanilla Ice-cream

Vanilla Ice-cream is one of the easiest flavours to make at home. This super creamy and delicious ice cream is made without an Ice-cream maker. People find it hard to believe that it is made at home without using an Ice-cream maker.

This egg less vanilla ice cream works out to be very economical. All you have to invest in is some fresh vanilla beans as vanilla essence will not give you the best flavor and color.  

I always have a two litre box of vanilla ice cream in my freezer. It comes in handy when I want to make rich cold coffee or thick shakes. Vanilla ice cream can be topped with various flavors of sauces but my personal favourite is vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce.
