For an even richer flavor, use whole milk instead of 2%. If you prefer a sweeter drink, adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. To toast the coconut, spread shredded coconut on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown, watching carefully to prevent burning. For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and whipped cream alternatives.
