So many things ran through my head when I heard coconut.. chocolate, lemon, lamingtons, golden roughs, raffaelos, malibu, lime...
These are coconut cupcakes, with lime curd, topped with coconut cream and a meringue.

Once cupcakes are cooked, place on a cooling rack to cool completely.
Meringues
[Makes approximately 20]
You Will Need...
Keep the egg yolks for the lime curd.
Put the eggwhites into your mixer, and using the whisk attachment, whisk until soft peaks form. (you can do this with a hand held mixer as well)
When you can see the soft peaks, add half the sugar. Keep whisking until all the sugar is gone. Then add the other half.
Place in the oven at 140 degrees celsius, until meringues are lightly browned at the base.
Turn the oven off, and leave them in the oven with the door ajar until completely cooled.Left over meringues can be stored in an airtight container.

Place in fridge until ready to use to firm up
Lime Curd
[Makes about 2 cups]
You Will Need...
I could only afford one lime.
Don't let it boil.
1) Once thick, pour into a clean bowl.
2) Add the butter and mix in until butter is completely melted
3) Stir in the lime zest.
If not using straight away, place a layer of glad wrap over the top so it is touching the curd, and place in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
You can store left over lime curd in a jar in the fridge
Once cupcakes are completely cooled, and the meringues, lime curd and coconut cream are all made. Cut holes in the tops of the cupcakes. (You can eat the bits you take out!)
Spoon approximately 2 teaspoons of lime curd per cupcake into the holes
Add 1 teaspoon of the coconut cream ontop of the lime curd
And top with a meringue.
Enjoy!!
