Place coconut flakes on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 5-10 minutes until golden brown. Check every couple of minutes, as different varieties brown at different rates. Take out of the oven and leave to cool.
Make the espresso or strong coffee, stir in the sugar and leave to cool.
Place the coffee, milk, coconut milk, ice, all but 1 tbsp of the toasted coconut and all but 1 tbsp of the chocolate syrup in a blender. Blend until combined.
Pour into two glasses and top with whipped cream, reserved coconut flakes and chocolate syrup.
