I use vanilla bean paste in my ice cream, puddings, custards and brulees.
They sell it at Williams-Sonoma. The paste is all the work already done and the taste is the same. Give it a try.

I just purchased 1/4 6-7 inch long Tahitian beans on ebay. Dirt cheap and certified organic at only $5.99. That's about 30 beans.

I can personally vouch for them! And there is a very long thread on eGullet about the store and what people have purchased (and an experiment with the beans to make homemade extract). Not sure if I'm allowed to post the thread....
