Heat coconut milk and Espresso Powder in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until simmering and pour over chocolate and oil. Stir gently with a rubber spatula until smooth and combined. Cover mixture and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or until solid. Toast coconut in a skillet over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden.
