Do Ahead:
Make the lemon syrup:

- Strain out the zest and place the syrup in an airtight container. Refrigerate until you are ready to use it.
Make Coconut Milk Ice Cubes:
- Shake one of the cans of coconut milk well and then pour it into an ice cube tray. Freeze until firm, at least a couple hours.
To Make the Frosties:
- Dip the rims of your serving glasses in the melted white chocolate and then in a shallow dish of flaked coconut.
- To a blender, add the remaining can of coconut milk, syrup, vanilla, and lemon juice. Blend and then add in the frozen coconut milk cubes.
- Blend until smooth, thick, and frothy. Pour the mixture into the prepared glasses, add straws, and enjoy immediately.
