  • 1

Ingredients

  • Brownie:
  • 1 c vegetable oil
  • 2 C sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 C flour
  • 2/3 c cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Frosting:
  • 1 C evaporated milk
  • 1 C sugar
  • 3 egg yokes slightly beaten
  • 1/2 C butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 -3/4 C shredded coconut
  • 1 -1/4 C chopped pecans

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13″ baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.

In a bowl, add oil, sugar, and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs and mix again.

Add flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt to wet ingredients; incorporate thoroughly.

Pour batter into pan and bake for 22-28 minutes (or until brownie starts to pull away from the sides of the pan).

While brownies cool, prepare frosting. Mix evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter and vanilla together in a sauce pan.  Stir constantly over medium heat until it comes to a slow boil.  Cook, stirring constantly until it thickens – about 10 to 11 minutes (it must be cooked that long).  Remove saucepan from heat and stir in coconut and pecans. Let frosting cool before spreading on cooled brownies.
