Excellent recipe; a copycat for a very famous and widespread coffee establishment from Top Secret Recipes.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

• ½ cup shredded coconut
• ¾ cup strong coffee
• 1 cup low-fat milk or 1 cup milk

• whipped cream

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 300°F.
2. Spread shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast coconut in the oven.
3. Stir the coconut around every 10 minutes or so for even browning.
4. After 25 to 30 minutes the shredded coconut should be light brown.
5. Cool it off.
6. Make double-strength coffee by brewing with twice the coffee required by your coffee maker.
7. That should be 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per each cup of coffee.

9. To make the drinks, combine cold coffee, milk, 1/3 cup of the toasted coconut, 1/3 cup chocolate syrup, and sugar in a blender.
10. Blend for 15 to 20 seconds to dissolve sugar.
11. Add ice and blend until ice is crushed and the drink is smooth.

This drink is wonderful! I've made it several times now, and it just keeps tasting better! I do however speed up the browning of the coconut. You can put your oven to 350 and the cooking time is greatly reduced. (Only takes about 6 to 7 minutes) You need to be careful and watch the coconut though! It darkens very quickly!

Great coffee and enjoyed the coconut flavor. I also toasted the coconut in a pan like one of the other reviewers mentioned, used 2 tablespoons of sugar, and doubled the amount of chocolate syrup. I didnt add the whipped cream this time but it would be a great topping. Will definitely be making this coffee again!
