Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (Philadelphia-Style)

Ingredients:

2 cups heavy cream, divided

1 cup whole milk

¾ cup sugar

Pinch of salt

1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

Combine 1 cup of the cream with the sugar and salt in a medium saucepan.  Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the pan and drop in the vanilla pod.  Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved.  Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 cup of cream, the milk and the vanilla.

Cover and refrigerate until the mixture is well chilled.  Remove the vanilla bean before churning.  Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
