    Beat cream in medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold 1 cup cream into curd.

    Step 4

    Layer 3 tablespoons berries, 3 tablespoons mousse, 1 tablespoon coconut mixture and 3 tablespoons whipped cream in each of 8 stemmed 10-to-12 ounce glasses. Repeat layering. Top each with 2 tablespoons berries, dollop of cream, some coconut mixture and more berries. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)
