Ingredients

• Fudge Layer:
• 14.25 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 3 cups high quality milk chocolate*
• Coconut Pecan Frosting:
• 14.25 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 3 egg yolks
• 4 tbsp butter
• 2 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup pecan halves

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare an 8x8 baking dish by lining it with parchment, foil, or wax paper. Set aside.
Over medium heat, stir together the chocolate and sweetened condensed milk in a 2-quart saucepan until smooth and melted.
Pour the fudge into the prepared baking dish. Set aside.
Clean out the fudge saucepan and return it to the stove to make the coconut pecan frosting.
With NO heat on, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and egg yolks.
Turn the heat to medium and add the butter. Stir until butter has melted. Continue stirring regularly for another 5-10 minutes until mixture is thick and bubbling. Remove from heat and stir in the coconut and pecans.
Pour coconut pecan frosting over the fudge layer and spread evenly.
Let cool for 4-6 hours at room temperature or until fudge has set completely. Or speed set by placing fudge in the refrigerator for an hour. Cut into 1 inch pieces to serve.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
