Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
½ (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1 ⅔ cups milk
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 ½ cups shredded coconut
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
¼ cup milk, or as needed
15 ladyfingers
1 ¼ cups shredded coconut
1 tablespoon shaved dark chocolate

Steps:

Combine sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, milk, egg yolks, and cornstarch in a saucepan over low heat; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened into a custard, about 10 minutes.
Divide custard between 2 bowls. Mix 2 1/2 cups shredded coconut into the first bowl of custard. Fold cocoa powder into the second bowl of custard. Let custard mixtures cool, about 10 minutes.
Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Pour 1/4 cup milk into a shallow bowl. Dip ladyfingers briefly in milk and arrange in the bottom of a glass trifle bowl. Spoon coconut custard on top. Layer remaining ladyfingers and chocolate custard on top. Smooth whipped cream over the top.
Place 1 1/4 cup shredded coconut in a small skillet over low heat. Cook and stir until toasted and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool.
Sprinkle toasted coconut and chocolate over whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate until flavors meld, about 4 hours.
