For an extra layer of flavor, toast the flaked coconut lightly before adding it to the topping. This will enhance its nutty notes and add a delightful crunch. Ensure the milk mixture is warm, not scalding, when adding it to the batter. This will help to create a tender crumb. If you don't have heavy cream, half-and-half can be substituted in the topping, though the texture will be slightly less rich.
