Coconut Pecan Frosting

Terry's favorite cake is German Chocolate and I make it for him every birthday. I just bake my favorite boxed chocolate cake and use this frosting. Once frosted, this cake freezes really well.

1 c. undiluted evaporated milk
1 c. sugar
3 egg yolks
1/2 c. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. coconut
1 c. chopped pecans

Directions:

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, eggs, butter and vanilla. Cook over medium heat until it thickens, stirring constantly.

Add the coconut and pecans stir to incorporate.

Allow to cool a bit before icing cake or cupcakes.
