1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut Milk
3 egg yolks
2/3 cup Sutter Buttes Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions:

Gently warm coconut milk over medium-low heat until hot throughout – do not boil. Separate eggs, placing yolks in a heat safe bowl.  Temper egg yolks by adding 1/2 cup of the hot coconut milk while stirring. Slowly pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the pot while stirring. Heat custard until it thickens, stirring constantly. Do not boil.  Mixture should coat the back of a spoon and be the consistency of cream. Remove from heat and let mixture cool to room temperature.  Add remaining ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated. Chill custard in freezer until cold to the touch
