1. Split vanilla bean in half lengthwise with a thin-bladed knife. Put the cream, milk, and sugar into a medium saucepan. Scrape the seeds of the vanilla bean into the liquid and drop the vanilla bean into the pan. Stir, and heat until steaming. Add 1 cup of the hot cream to the egg yolks, beating thoroughly with a whisk. Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the remaining hot cream. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until the custard thickens slightly and coats the back of a wooden spoon. (Do not allow the custard to boil or it will curdle.)
2. Remove the custard from the heat and pour through a strainer into a clean container. Add the vanilla bean to the container. Cool completely, then remove the vanilla bean, cover, and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight. Stir the mixture and transfer to an ice cream machine. Freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
