Sharon's Coconut-Brown Sugar Frosting (for German Chocolate Cake)

Years ago, Sharon gave me this recipe for the frosting she put on a German Chocolate Cake.

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup brown sugar, packed
3 egg yolks, stirred together
1/2 cup butter
~~~~
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 and 1/2 cup flake coconut
1 cup chopped nuts
~~~~

DIRECTIONS:

Cook milk, sugar, egg yolks and butter until thick.

Add vanilla, coconut and chopped nuts.

This makes a rich frosting!  M-m-m-m-m-m!
