There’s something about a caramel goodness with coconut and pecans that will make your mouth water. My moms German Chocolate Frosting will get you every time! It’s a super easy recipe and will make any amazing cake THAT much better (I totally use it with a boxed cake mix cake too… ?? don’t tell Sadie!)

1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups coconut

Step-by-step
Combine sugar and egg yolks in a saucepan. I like to whisk them together so the yolks are incorporated together.
Add the milk, butter, and vanilla.
Stir constantly until thickened. This should take 12-15 minutes on low to medium heat. When your mixture starts to simmer start your time.
Stir in coconut and pecans.
As frosting cools it will thicken up a bit more. Spread on your German chocolate…..
or eat with a spoon!
