NUTRITION INFORMATION
Bake the cake according to the package directions in a 9X13 pan lined with parchment paper.
Allow the cake to cool for 15-20 minutes, then use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes in the cake about 1-2 inches apart.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the cake. Use an offset spatula to spread it into an even layer and into the holes.
Place the cake into the fridge for at least an hour, up to overnight. *If you leave it overnight, cover with plastic wrap.
In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter for 10 minutes on medium high, scraping the bowl down every few minutes.
Add the salt, coconut extract, and vanilla extract, mix to combine.
Add ½ of the powdered sugar at a time, mixing for 3 minutes on low after each addition. Scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl several times.
Add the heavy cream 2 TBSP at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Spread the frosting over the chilled chocolate poke cake.
In a dry skillet, toast the coconut until lightly browned. Watch it closely as it can burn quickly.
Sprinkle the toasted coconut and chocolate chips over the top of the cake. Slice and serve.
