I add xanthan gum to the vanilla ice cream because I found that the consistency is a little more like ice milk without it.  By adding the xanthan gum to the ingredients the ice cream has a creamier consistency.  If you don’t have xanthan gum you can leave it out, but the consistency will be a little different.
