Beat cream cheese, icing sugar and lemon rind together until smooth. Stir in coconut. Using a teaspoon, fill each lychee with cream-cheese mixture. Place on a tray and repeat with remainder. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
Step 2 of 5
Whisk egg yolk in a large bowl to loosen. Whisk in soda water. Add both flours and, using a fork, roughly stir until just combined when lumps will be visible.
Step 3 of 5
Heat oil in a deep saucepan or deep-fryer.
Step 4 of 5
Place extra flour in a shallow bowl. Toss chilled lychees in flour to lightly coat, shaking off excess. Dip in batter and allow the excess to drip off. Cook, in batches of about 6 at a time, for 2 minutes, turning halfway through until pale golden in colour. Drain on a paper towel.
