Method
Lemon Coconut Curd: In heatproof bowl over saucepan of gently simmering water, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, sugar, coconut milk, lemon zest and lemon juice.

Refrigerate until chilled, about 4 hours.

Meanwhile, set aside 2 tbsp of the coconut. In food processor, pulse together remaining coconut, the almonds, sugar, margarine and ginger until mixture begins to form small clumps. Press onto bottom and up side of lightly greased 9-inch (23 cm) round tart pan with removable bottom; refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
Bake on baking sheet in 350 F (180 C) oven until golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on rack.
Makeahead: Cover and store in cool, dry place for up to 24 hours.
Spoon lemon mixture into crust; sprinkle with reserved coconut.
