Prepare Coconut Pastry: into medium bowl, measure flour, coconut,
butter, sugar and wgg yolk. With fingertips, mix just until blended.

stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils; boil 1 minute.
In small bowl with fork, beat egg yolks; stir in small amount of hot
sugar mixture in pan, stirring rapidly to prevent lumping. Cook,
stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats spoon well,
about 1 minute (mixture should be about 170F - 175F). Remove saucepan
from heat. Stir lemon peel and lemon juice into custard, cover
custard and refrigerate till very cold, about 1 hour. In small bowl,
with mixer at medium heat, beat heavy or whipping cream till soft
peaks form. With rubber spatula, or wire whisk, fold whipped cream

the fall. Dice or slice fruit as needed for best looking presentation
