I made this.

Servings: 12

INGREDIENTS

1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup butter
3 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ⅓ cups flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans

STEPS

1) Gather all ingredients.

2) Combine evaporated milk, brown sugar, butter, egg yolks, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, at a low boil until mixture turns a light caramel color and thickens, about 10 minutes.

3) Remove from heat and stir in coconut and pecans. Let cool to room temperature before spreading on cake.
