Once custard as set.  Spread whipped cream on top of coconut custard. Sprinkle 1/4 cup toasted coconut and shaved chocolate over the top.  Drizzle coconut caramel sauce.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.
For the Whipped Topping

For the Coconut Caramel Sauce
Add butter, brown sugar, water, and salt to medium saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring until butter melts.  Bring to boil for 5 minutes (it will bubble a lot!), stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup coconut milk, vanilla and coconut extracts. Let rest 10 minutes to thicken then taste and add additional coconut extract if desired. Caramel will continue to thicken upon standing. If you would like the Coconut Caramel Sauce thinner, simply stir in more coconut milk to reach desired consistency.
