German Chocolate Icing
1 Nine inch two layer cake
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 egg yolks, slightly mixed with a whisk
- 1/2 cup butter (real butter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Directions
1
Put butter in a sauce pan and let it melt.2
Add milk, sugar, vanilla and whisk in egg yolks.3
Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture starts to bubble and then cook for about nine (9) minutes stirring constantly.4
Pour over coconut and pecans and mix.5
I usually put the nuts and coconut in a metal bowl and then poor the hot mixture over them to help with cooling.6
If you are in a hurry, put the mixture in the refrigerator stirring occasionally until it is cool and thick enough to ice your cake.7
I find that box cakes are just fine for this.

Very Good! Although an important thing to mention is that it's calling for evaportated milk. I doubled the recipe because I am always afraid of running out of frosting and it was more than enough to frost 2 8in round cakes...and plenty for me to enjoy along the way. Very good recipe...Thanks!

Excellent icing! The only additional thing I would point out is that the canned milk in the recipe is evaporated milk. Thanks!

This was absolutely delicious! Just the way German chocolate icing should taste. I thought that it made more than enough for a 13" x 9" cake. It was a tiny bit thick, however the next time I make it I will cook it a minute or so less.
