Toots and I both like coconut, and we like lemon flavors as well. However, neither of us have tried coconut and lemon together, and I've been thinking about making a coconut meyer lemon panna cotta. Do you think this might be a good flavor combination? I'm having difficulty imagining it, and wouldn't want to waste the ingredients if it's a poor marriage of flavors. Any thoughts on the subject?
Thanks!

Don't know about lemon and coconut, but I have read of a lemongrass and coconut panna cotta. Or I like passionfruit as a garnish on panna cotta.

I think it could work. Coconut goes great with lots of tart tropical fruits, meyer lemon isn't really that different from lime, pineapple or passion fruit. Do it!
Or you could make a meyer lemon curd or some kind of lemon cookie, using the juice in a filling or glaze. Even though the zest smells amazing, i feel like the flavor of meyers doesn't come through as well as regular lemon zest, so I always use the juice too.

It couldn't be BAD. At worst you'd have a sort of delicious panna cotta instead of an amazingly delicious one. I'm picturing it with a puddle of meyer lemon sauce.

Thanks for the encouraging comments. I'm going to give it a try for this weekend.
