Continue boiling the syrup until it reaches 266 degrees F. Keep the mixer on and remove the syrup from the heat and pour into the egg whites in a thin, steady stream between the whip and the side of the bowl. Lower the mixer speed to medium and stir in the softened gelatin sheets. Add the cayenne and chili powder. Immediately pour the prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to dry out for 24 hours. Remove from the pan and cut with a knife into 1 by 1-inch squares, then roll them into a mixture of equal parts of confectioners sugar, sugar, and cornstarch. Save 1 cup for later.

Remove the vanilla bean from the milk mixture. Pour a little of the hot milk mixture into the yolks mixture while mixing on low to temper the yolks. Then gradually mix in the remaining milk. Return the mixture to the saucepan with a candy thermometer and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it has reached 185 degrees F, about 2 to 4 minutes. Do not allow the custard to boil. Strain through a fine sieve into a large bowl. Cover loosely and quickly chill by placing the container in an ice-water bath, stirring from time to time. Immediately put the mixture into an ice-cream maker. Store in the freezer for 24 hours.
