German Chocolate Icing

By á-1473

Ingredients

• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 3 eggs yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
• 1 1/3 cups flaked coconut

Preparation

Step 1

Combine evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter & vanilla in small saucepan. Cook & stir over medium heat until thick, about 12 minutes. Stir in coconut & pecans. Beat until thick enough to spread.

This is the best icing, even though I cheat & make the German chocolate cake from a mix. But then, the icing makes the cake. Enjoy.
