Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'vanilla' names the flavoring ingredient and 'extract' denotes a concentrated substance obtained from plant material, so together they denote a concentrated vanilla flavoring. This noun+noun combination is a standard, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Vanilla extract comes from the simple kitchen process of soaking vanilla beans in alcohol to take out their flavor. That's why vanilla extract is the strong ingredient used to add the 'vanilla' taste to food and drinks.
