Ingredients

1 vanilla bean , split and seeds scraped out
1½ cups heavy cream
½ cup whole milk
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg

Instructions

Using a sharp knife, halve vanilla beans lengthwise and scrape seeds into a large heavy saucepan.
Add pods to saucepan and stir in heavy cream, whole milk, and cane sugar.
Stirring occasionally, over medium heat, bring milk mixture just to a boil and remove pan from heat.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs until thoroughly combined. Add hot cream mixture to whipped eggs in a slow stream, whisking the whole time, then pour egg mixture into medium saucepan.
Cook ice cream mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to thicken slightly.
Pour custard base through a sieve into a clean bowl, cover top with plastic wrap, and cool completely. Chill in the refrigerator at least 3 hours, or until very cold.
Freeze custard base in an ice-cream maker according to your manufacturer's instructions. Transfer ice cream from ice cream maker to a freezer-safe container and freeze until hard.
