In a cocktail shaker, combine the vanilla vodka, white crème de cacao, half-and-half, and the scraped vanilla bean seeds.
Fill the shaker with 1 cup of ice cubes.
Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well combined and chilled.
Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass.
For a finishing touch, garnish the martini with the empty vanilla bean pod or a thin slice of vanilla bean for elegance.
