Cut the vanilla bean pod in to half and slice it length wise. Scrape the vanilla bean out with the knife and add it to the mixture. Since it is very costly, make sure that you are not wasting any of it.

Stir the vanilla bean into mixture; once it is completely stirred, put a lid on it and refrigerate it for 3 hours or overnight.

Making the Shortbread Crust Remove the dough from the refrigerator.

Cover the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and spread the dough over it. Leave a little bit over the edge so that you can easily pick up the crust once it is baked.
