Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

ingredients
1 Mexican vanilla bean, split
1 cup half and half
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup sugar, divided
6 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon pure Mexican vanilla extract
1 teaspoon freshly ground canela (Ceylon cinnamon)
directions
Scrape the seeds from the split vanilla bean. Place the vanilla bean and seeds, half and half, heavy cream and half the sugar in a saucepan and gently warm over a low flame until the sugar has dissolved.
Place the egg yolks and remaining sugar in a bowl and beat (electric mixer or by hand with a whisk) until the mixture thickens and turns pale yellow.
Add about 1/2 cup of the warm cream mixture to the egg yolk mixture and beat until blended. Gradually add the rest of the warm cream mixture to the egg yolks, beating as you do so.
Return the custard to the saucepan and gently cook until it thickens to the coats-the-spoon stage. Don't hurry this step. Stir constantly over a low flame, taking care not to curdle the mixture.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve. Remove the vanilla bean, scrape out the pods and add to the strained custard and stir until well blended. Add additional extract to taste and the canela. Chill until very cold.
Continue the final process of making the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions of your ice cream maker.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

I used regular vanilla bean and vanilla and cinnamon. Tasted pretty good. I would love to try it with authentic ingredients but our stores don't carry them. If I stop in a mexican market I'll see if I can find them.
