Whisk the egg yolks and 50g / 1.7 oz. icing sugar in a large bowl. Place lime zest and one tablespoon of coconut liquor to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour over the whisked egg yolks, stirring constantly with a hand whisk. Pour the mixture into a saucepan, set it over a medium high heat for about 2 - 3 minutes or until the cream gets thick. Remove from the heat and cool the cream slightly. While the lime cream is still a bit warm, slowly start adding and stirring in the coconut oil and lime zest.
