Much better than that stuff in a can.

1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

1
In a medium sauce pan combine the first 5 ingredients over medium heat and stir until thickened, around 12-15 min.
2
Add the coconut and pecans, beat until thick enough to spread.

What a wonderful taste! I couldn't get it to thicken very well at all. I ended up adding lots of powdered sugar, but still some of the icing ran to the bottom of the cake pan. Regardless, it was so delicious that it really didn't matter!

Great recipe, which we have made many times. We have given the recipe to many who have requested it from us, Being Germans, they believe they are getting something really authentic from us. Little do they know Bavarians know nothing of the cake we call German Chocolate.

This is my second recipe for this frosting and both times they never got quite thick enough, so I tend to think there is something wrong with the chef. Taste was still great, but I would like it a little thicker.... will probably try again and watch for the bubble up on the stove and take it off right away.

EXCELLENT! I would give this a 6 star rating if I could. I had my family over for dinner and made a German Chocolate Cake with this frosting. Everyone told me how great it was, atleast 2 times. I am really happy with the outcome I had with it. From my own experience dont expect for this to be at spreading consistency. It is kinda more like a glaze with nuts and coconut in it. I didnt put in any nuts, because of allergies and also because some of the people disliked nuts. I added in another cup of coconut. I also didnt add in the egg yolk, which will definitely thicken it more too! Thanks for a great frosting recipe!
