Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Recently my grandsons wanted to make "that vanilla ice cream", so when they came over we whipped some up.  This recipe is so easy & they just love it!  I am sharing this with Tea Party Tuesday at Sweetology.

3 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise

In a saucepan over medium low heat, combine all ingredients, except vanilla bean.  Stir occasionally until sugar dissolves.  Cool slightly.  With a small knife, scrape tiny black seeds from bean into cream.  Discard bean.  Chill thoroughly.  Follow directions for your ice cream maker.
NOTE:  In place of vanilla bean, substitute 1 T. vanilla.
