After it cools, poke holes all over the top. ( I used a skewer, but u could also use a fork) Put as many holes as possible. Spread cream of coconut over the top. Tilt pan to get all the cake covered. Let set 5 minutes to absorb the liquid. (Tilt again if necessary) Top with cool whip and sprinkle with coconut if desired. serve immediately.
