Pour the custard into a small, heavy-based pan and grate in the creamed coconut. Heat gently until the coconut dissolves, then remove frome the heat and leave to cool.
Hull and halve two-thirds of the strawberries and put to one side. Blitz the rest with the lime juice and 2 tablespoons of the icing sugar. Set aside. Tip the mascarpone into a large bowl and beat in the cooled coconut custard. Add half of the lime zest and the remaining icing sugar and mix until smooth.
Divide two-third of the custard mixture between six large glasses. Follow with a layer of strawberry halves. Pour over some strawberry sauce, then finish with the remaining custard. Chill for at least an hour, then top with the remaining lime zest before serving.
