Quintessential vanilla ice cream is a workhorse, ready to be topped or filled with anything you can imagine.

Place over medium heat, and cook, stirring often, until thickened and mixture coats the back of a spoon. Pour through a fine strainer into a bowl and stir in cream and vanilla extract. Let cool and then refrigerate until chilled. Process in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
