8 large egg yolks
1 1/4 cup grated coconut
3/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
In a stainless steel bowl, beat the egg yolks, coconut, lemon juice, and butter with an electric mixer until well combined
Cook over low heat, beating constantly for 5-7 minutes or until the mixture reaches a simmer (do not let it boil)
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, then stir in the grated lemon zest
Let it cool to room temperature, covered with plastic wrap (allowing the wrap to touch the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming)
Refrigerate for at least 1 day
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form
Add 1/4 cup of lemon juice and mix well
Then, add the remaining heavy cream and mix delicately
Chill covered with plastic wrap until serving time
