I’ve always been a vanilla girl. I’d choose blondies over brownies, I’d much rather be eating white cake than chocolate, and I’d eat vanilla ice cream over chocolate ice cream any day of the week! So a homemade tub of vanilla bean ice cream… churned freshly in my favorite ice cream maker… doesn’t last very long in my house.
My ice cream maker is getting a workout these days. It seems like it snowed for the last time just a few weeks ago, then we got a week or so of weird rain showers, and now the temperature has shot up like a rocket. It’s hot. Like 100 degrees hot! It’s “I need ice cream all day long” hot! Vanilla ice cream topped with a little caramel or hot fudge is the absolutely best. Adding rainbow sprinkles on top is a big, fat bonus 🙂
But since I love vanilla so very much, a scoop of plain vanilla ice cream is just about the best thing ever to me. I love the sweet cream flavor with that strong flavor of vanilla. I know it’s probably quite rare, but would you choose vanilla over chocolate too??
