Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built: 'ice cream' denotes a frozen dairy dessert (cream made frozen) and 'vanilla' simply specifies the flavor. A B1 learner who knows 'vanilla', 'ice' and 'cream' can readily infer 'vanilla ice cream' as ice cream flavored with vanilla; this structure is common cross-linguistically and follows standard noun-modifier composition.
Etymology
Vanilla ice cream comes from adding flavor made from a small brown vanilla bean to frozen cream and milk. So vanilla ice cream means a sweet frozen food made with vanilla flavor.
