Hi, Ms. P's nation! Get ready to elevate your baking game with another delectable creation from Ms. P's Gluten Free. Today, we're diving into the irresistible world of coconut pecan frosting, a perfect complement to our gluten-free German chocolate cake or any dessert you desire!
We believe that every bite should be a celebration of flavor and indulgence, and our coconut pecan frosting is no exception. Made with wholesome ingredients and bursting with tropical goodness, this frosting is a true game-changer.
Now, let's talk frosting! Here's what you'll need to whip up a batch of our coconut pecan frosting:
- 1 12 oz. can evaporated milk
- 1 1/2 cups organic sugar
- 3/4 cup of butter
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 2/3 cups coconut flakes
- 1 1/2 cups pecan pieces
Ready to indulge? Let's get started:
- In a saucepan, combine the evaporated milk, sugar, butter, egg yolks, and vanilla extract.
- Cook and stir mixture consistently over medium heat for about 12 minutes, or until frosting is thick and golden. This step is where the magic happens, so don't rush it!
- Once the frosting reaches the perfect consistency, remove it from heat and stir in the coconut flakes and pecan pieces. The aroma wafting from your saucepan will be pure bliss!
- Beat the frosting until it's cooled and ready to spread over your cake. Don't worry if it seems a bit loose at first-- it will thicken as it cools.
Now, it's time to adorn your masterpiece with this frosting's luscious texture and flavor! Whether you're covering your gluten-free German chocolate cake or adding a touch of sweetness to your favorite dessert, our coconut pecan frosting is sure to steal the spotlight.
