Instructions: For Ice Cream: Combine whipping cream and milk in heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring to simmer. Whisk egg yolks and sugar in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in hot cream mixture. Return mixture to saucepan and stir constantly over medium-low heat until custard thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 5 minutes (do not boil). Strain into large bowl. Mix in rum and nutmeg. Refrigerate until cold.

Process mixture in ice cream maker according to manufacturers instructions. Transfer to container and freeze. (Can be made 4 days ahead. Keep frozen.)

For Sauce: Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, cream and corn syrup and stir until sugar dissolves. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat. Mix in rum. Cool slightly. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before using.)

Scoop ice cream into bowls. Spoon warm sauce over and serve.

This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.

Comments: At Oran Mor, the ice cream comes in profiteroles surrounded by the sauce, but this lovely duo tastes terrific without that added touch, too.
