Tips

To substitute ingredients in this dessert, you can use lemon extract or lemon juice instead of fresh lemons if you don't have any on hand. For the coconut custard, you can use coconut milk or coconut cream instead of using fresh coconut. If you don't have toasted coconut flakes, you can substitute with crushed graham crackers for a similar crunchy texture. Finally, if you don't have whipped cream, you can use whipped coconut cream as a dairy-free alternative.
