Whisk Egg Yolks
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine Mixtures
Slowly pour the warm coconut mixture into the egg yolks, whisking continuously to prevent curdling.

Bake
Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
