German Chocolate Frosting

  • 1 c sugar
  • 1 c evaporated milk
  • 1/2 c butter
  • 3 egg yolks (beaten)
  • 1 1/3 c  flaked coconut
  • 1 c finely chopped pecans.
  • 1 t vanilla extract

In saucepan combine sugar, evaporated milk, butter and egg yolks. Cook over low heat (stir constantly!) until this thickens considerably (took me about 8 minutes).

Remove from heat and stir in pecans and coconut.

Chill until thick enough to spread.
