Brew 1.5 cups of strong coffee using your preferred method, such as a French press, espresso machine, or drip coffee maker.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk continuously until the mixture is warmed through and completely smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Taste the cocoa mixture and add an optional teaspoon of sugar if desired for extra sweetness. Stir well to combine.
Divide the brewed coffee evenly between two mugs.
Pour the warm coconut-cocoa mixture over the coffee in each mug, stirring gently to mix.
Top each mug with whipped cream, a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes, and a small garnish of dark chocolate shavings.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, tropical Cafe Bahia!
