In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the milk, cream, sugar and vanilla bean and vanilla bean seeds to a boil.
Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
Add the squeezed out gelatin sheets or the mixture of milk and powdered gelatin and whisk until dissolved.
Strain though a fine mesh sieve into a large, clean bowl (preferably one with a spout) to remove the vanilla bean and any bits of zest or gelatin.
Cool in an ice bath stirring occasionally to prevent mixture from setting, but still allowing it to thicken, about 10-12 minutes.
In a blender or food processor, puree avocado pulp until smooth.
Add half of cream mixture and puree again until smooth.
Add pureed avocado cream mixture to bowl of remaining cream mixture and whisk to combine.
