Scrape the seeds from the bean pod and add them and the pod to the pot. Stir and let the mixture come to a gentle boil. Remove from the heat, cover and let it steep for 10 minutes. Strain the mixture, removing the pods. Chill the mixture for at least one hour or overnight. Churn the cream mixture and the mango puree according to your ice cream maker instructions.
