2) Press into a 9-inch spring form pan. Place in the freezer as you prepare the filling.

Filling:

1) Combine all ingredients in a high powered blender (ie. Vitamix) and blend thoroughly.

2) Pour over crust and let set in the fridge up to a few hours. The mixture will be a solid gel when set.

Meringue:

1) Combine all ingredients in a high powered blender (ie. Vitamix) and blend thoroughly. Pour into a container and let set in the fridge up to several hours.

Assembly:

1) Top the filling with the meringue and place in the fridge again until firm.

2) Remove from spring form pan, top with lemon slices and shredded coconut. Enjoy!
