Coconut Ice Cream

My son's birthday is coming up and so I decided to try making some coconut ice cream.  I looked around at other ice cream recipes, combined a few, and came up with this one.  We all loved it, in fact, I'm finishing off the leftovers right now!  I am going to try using vanilla bean next time, I think that will give it an even richer flavor.

Ingredients:
4 egg yolks
1/3 cup raw agave
2 (13.5- ounce) cans regular coconut milk
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preparation:
In a large bowl, whisk yolks until pale yellow, 1 to 2 minutes. Add regular coconut milk and whisk again until well combined. Transfer coconut mixture to a medium pot and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until just thickened and mixture coats the back of a spoon, 8 to 10 minutes. Be sure not to let the mixture boil. Remove pot from the heat. Transfer contents of pot to a bowl and chill until cold.  Add raw agave, coconut, and vanilla.  Process mixture in an ice cream maker.  You can also add fruit if you would like.
