Make the coconut layer: In a separate bowl, stir the coconut with the sweetened condensed milk. Mix to combine.
Add spoonfuls of the coconut mix on top of the chocolate layer. Gently spread and make a full layer.
Bake in preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until set. It needs to feel set, but not hard, as it will harden on cooling. Let cool.
