Tips
If you don't have lemongrass, you can substitute it with lemon zest or a few drops of lemongrass essential oil to achieve a similar flavor. Passion fruit curd can be replaced with mango puree or pineapple puree to keep the tropical taste intact. If mangoes are not available, papaya or kiwi can be used as a colorful alternative. Lastly, if toasted coconut flakes are not on hand, you can substitute them with crushed nuts or granola for added texture.
