Raspberry Ice Cream Sandwiches

INGREDIENTS

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Chambord (creme de cassis works in a pinch, but you can also skip this)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup unsweetened finely shredded coconut
• 5 egg yolks
• 2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cup half and half
• the zest of 2 lemons
• 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 vanilla bean
• 1 1/2 cup unsalted butter (use good quality), soft but still slightly cooler than room temperature
• 3 cups strained raspberry puree (made from blending and straining about 30 oz. raspberries. Strain well! Frozen and defrosted raspberries work fine.)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
