Coconut Pecan Frosting

{Coconut Pecan Frosting}

Also known as German Chocolate cake frosting

{Ingredients}

4 medium egg yolks

1 cup of evaporated milk

1 cup sugar

¼ cup of butter

¼ cup margarine (You can substitute this for butter if you would like)

1 teaspoon of vanilla

1 ½ cup flaked unsweetened coconut

1 ¾ cups pecans- finely chopped

(obviously this is before they were finely chopped!)

In a cold medium sauce pan combine the egg yolks, evaporated milk, sugar, butter and margarine. Turn on heat to medium or medium-high and whisk frequently until the mixture boils. Continue stirring for 15 minutes until the mixture thickens and remove from heat. Whisk in the vanilla, coconut and pecans.

(Special note- make sure that you keep an eye on the mixture and whisk or stir frequently or it will burn)

I spread this on store bought brownie mix to change it up, it makes them delicious!
