TAHITIAN VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a heavy bottom saucepan, combine 1 cup full cream, whole milk, sugar, and salt. Set over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved and mixture comes to a boil. You will see steam rising off the top of the saucepan.
• Place the saucepan off the heat. Split your vanilla bean lengthwise using a sharp paring knife, and scrape the seeds into the mixture. Toss in the vanilla pod as well. Add your vanilla extract and vanilla bean paste. Stir the mixture and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let the mixture steep for 30 minutes to an hour.
• Remove the lid and place the mixture back on low heat. Add in the egg yolks. Stir the mixture constantly using a wooden spoon or spatula, ensuring that the yolks have incorporated properly. Stir the mixture occasionally until a custard begins to form and coats the back of your spoon. This will take about 10 or so minutes.
• Place the remaining 1 cup of full cream into a large bowl with a sieve placed on top. Strain your custard mixture into the bowl, ensure that no curdled eggs go through. You can either toss the vanilla bean pod into the mixture or discard it. Place your custard into an ice bath and let it cool completely. From here you will place your ice cream in the fridge overnight to chill.
• Churn the ice cream according to your manufacturer's instructions. Place ice cream into a freezer safe container and let the mixture freeze for another 4 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Split and scrape vanilla bean: On cutting board, slit the bean lengthwise. Scrape down the length of the bean to scoop out all the seeds. Place the seeds in a little mound on the cutting board. Add a teaspoon of granulated sugar; work the sugar and seeds together with the tip of your middle finger, until sugar and seeds are totally mixed and seeds don't stick together anymore.
• Place vanilla bean and seeds, sugar, and milk in a saucepan. Stir occasionally until the mixture just starts to come to a boil. Cover; remove from heat and let stand 30 minutes.
• Remove vanilla bean and scrape it between your thumb and forefinger to get every bit of seed and pulp out of it. Discard pod.
• Cool overnight. Add to ice cream freezer and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.

TAHITIAN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and allow softening, about 2 minutes. Cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the water mixture using a paring knife. Add the empty vanilla pods. Stir the water mixture over medium heat until the gelatin has dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly. Remove and discard the vanilla pods.
• Beat the cream until thick using an electric hand mixer in a medium bowl. Add the sugar and continue to beat until the cream holds soft peaks. Add the water mixture, coconut milk and rum. Beat until thick and light.
• Pour the mixture into an 8-by-8-inch glass baking dish. Freeze until the mixture is the texture of soft-serve ice cream, about 2 1/2 hours.
• Scoop the mixture into small glasses using an ice cream scoop. Garnish with toasted coconut and serve. Freeze any unused ice cream in an airtight container.
• Cook's Notes: To toast coconut, place sweetened or unsweetened, shredded or flaked coconut in a single layer on a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
• If freezing the ice cream for longer than 2 1/2 hours, allow the ice cream to stand at room temperature until softened, about 30 minutes before serving. Whisk the ice cream until smooth and serve.
