Yes use two teaspoons if vanilla essence if not using vanilla pod. Well, I think adding chocolate essence instead of vanilla would be a better idea for a chocolate ice cream. Because it doesn't change the recipe & I have never tried it before, so I don't wanna promise you anything. :)

Could you add sweetens or unsweetened coco powder to make it chocolate? Or use imitation vanilla flavour?
