Simmer coconut milk in large pan.
Add sugar and vanilla extract to the mixture.
Slice vanilla bean and scoop out the inside. Add vanilla bean contents to the mixture. Also throw the rest of the bean into the mixture. You will strain it out later. Continue to simmer.
Add egg yolks to a separate glass bowl. Temper your eggs by bringing them to the same temperature as the simmering coconut milk mixture. To do so, slowly add large spoonfuls of the heated coconut mixture to your egg yolks. Slowly whisk until eggs reach desired temperature.
Once the eggs have reached the desired temperature, remove the coconut mixture from the heat. Add the tempered eggs to the coconut mixture. Slowly whisk to combine.
Strain the mixture into a bowl to remove any scrambled eggs and the vanilla bean.
Refrigerate the mixture until chilled.
