- Pour the mixture into a tall mug or glass. Add hot coffee and a tablespoon of coconut milk.
- Add the caramel sauce and chocolate chips to a small bowl. Microwave for 15 seconds, sir and microwave another 15 second or until melted. Stir to combine.
- Top the drink off with coconut whipped cream and then drizzle with the chocolate sauce and sprinkle with a heavy dose of toasted coconut.
