German Chocolate Frosting

Ingredients

  • 2 cups evaporated milk
  • 2 cups Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups flaked coconut (toasted if desired)
  • 1 3/4 cups pecans, chopped

      Directions

      1. If toasted coconut is desired, spread coconut onto a cookie sheet and place in oven. Toss frequently with a fork and allow to turn light golden.
      2. Combine evaporated milk, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, egg yolks and salt in a saucepan. Stir constantly over medium heat using a heat resistant spatula or a wire whisk until thickened. This will take about 30 minutes and consistency should be slightly thinner than room temperature ketchup.
      3. Add coconut and pecans and stir to combine. Allow to cool in a refrigerator or chill on an ice bath if needed immediately.
