- 6 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons grated lemon peel

- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups chilled whipping cream
- 2 6-ounce baskets fresh blueberries
Instructions

Transfer lemon curd to medium bowl. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface. Chill until cold. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.)
- Preheat oven to 350 °F. Spread coconut on baking sheet. Sprinkle brown sugar over. Bake until coconut is golden, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Cool.
- Beat cream in medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold 1 cup cream into curd.
- Layer 3 tablespoons berries, 3 tablespoons mousse, 1 tablespoon coconut mixture and 3 tablespoons whipped cream in each of 8 stemmed 10-to-12 ounce glasses. Repeat layering. Top each with 2 tablespoons berries, dollop of cream, some coconut mixture and more berries. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)
