Instructions
- Pour the cream (or the coconut milk) in a large sauce pan over medium heat.

- If using vanilla bean, cut the vanilla bean lenghtwise and scrape the seeds out.
- Add the seeds to the cream.

- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the egg yolks with the remaining cream.
- Slowly pour about a cup of the hot mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking.
- Then, slowly pour the egg mixture back in the sauce pan and keep mixing.
- Cook until the temperature on your instant-read thermometer reaches 85 °C/ 185 °F.

- Add the vanilla extract and mix in well.

- When done, place in a freezer-friendly container and add the Amarenata.
- Mix slightly to create swirls.
- Place in the freezer for 30-60 minutes.
