No, you can make ice cream any flavour you like...or no flavour at all. But if you want vanilla ice cream you will need either vanilla extract or artificial extract or vanilla beans.

Why does ice-cream need whipping cream?
After the cream is whipped, the texture will be more even. which you could make better ice cream with better quality

You could in most recipes, but the closest substitute is to use half milk and half cream. That's what half and half is.
What can you substitute for whipping cream that is a good nutrient?
the answer would be egg whites it has all the nutrients you need just better than whipping cream
Can you substitute all purpose cream for lard when frosting?
Yes. Edit: For some things, No for others. If you are using it in baking for a cake, cookies, bread, in a sauce for pasta, a cream soup base it should be fine but less rich. But if you need to whip the cream icing filling, make it part of a custard (ice cream, creme brulee) or make ganache most all purpose cream is not rich or thick enough. A whipping cream needs to be above 30% or so to whip properly. It will seem twice as thick as most all purpose coffee creams depending on the area your all purpose cream is probably between 10-20% fat. So you may not be able to replace it with regular cream and get the same results.
What kind of milk do you use to make whip cream?
Whipped cream is not made directly from milk, and it is not possible to make whipped cream with homogenized milk purchased at supermarkets. Milk will froth and foam, but it does not have enough fat to form whipped cream. One needs heavy cream to make whipped cream. Heavy cream is separated from non-homogenized milk. When fresh milk is left to stand, the cream will rise to the top, where it can be skimmed off. This cream is further concentrated into the "heavy cream" or "whipping cream" that can then be whipped into whipped cream.
How much milk in half half?
It is a light cream undefined by regulation, but typically 12 to 13 percent butterfat. Normal milk is considered to be 3.2 percent butterfat, whipping cream is 32 percent and heavy cream is 40 percent. Half and Half is also called coffee cream, and most dairies produce a wide range of fluid milk products depending on the need of the market, from skim (less than one percent butterfat) to confectionary cream at 50 percent butterfat.
Can you use 2 percent milk and cream to make whole milk?
No, you need at least around 30% cream (milkfat), to be able to whip it. This usually means you need at least a light whipping cream, although most will prefer heavy whipping cream, as it's more reliable and stable. It is possible for certain light creams (not whipping cream) to have enough fat to whip, but they usually fall in at around 20% fat.
How do you make half and half milk?
Usually, you buy half and half that they make at a creamery. Commercial half and half, contrary to what its name implies, is between 10.5 and 18% butterfat. To make your own, you'll need regular whole milk (3.5%) and pure cream. To make a quart of half and half, you take a pint of whole milk and mix it with a pint of cream. Voilà! Enjoy!
What kind of cream do you use for homemade ice cream?
Pure cream high in milk fat is best for ice cream. Read the label: it should say, contains cream (and give the percentage of fat) and might also list the small amount of water which naturally occurs in cream. The cream shouldn't contain any thickeners (gelatine and so on), colours, flavours, sugars or preservatives. Just cream. Heavy cream (called double cream in the UK) and light cream (called single cream in the UK) are the two types of cream most people use when making homemade ice cream. Heavy cream is higher in butterfat content. See the 'Cream in ice cream' link below for more information.
Can you make butter with whipping cream?
Yes. There is a link on how to do it below.
How do you convert half and half into heavy cream?
If you're cooking, you can add butter and water to half and half to get an equivalent amount of heavy cream. Heavy cream is 36% fat, half and half is 10% fat, butter is 81% fat. And water is 0% fat :). So, we just need to balance the half and half, butter, and water to give us the same volume and the same amount of fat. To mimic one cup of heavy cream, use .5 cup (121g) of half and half plus .4 cup (91g) of butter plus 1/8 cup (28g) water. I've done this for candy making (truffles and caramels) and it works fine. But I doubt this will do the trick for uses (like whipping) which don't involve cooking.
How do you make whip cream using heavy whipping cream?
You don't. A blender is made of metal and or plastic pieces, it would taste terrible if you tried to use this as the only ingredient for butter.
