Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolk and butter. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, whisking frequently.
- Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla extract, pecans and coconut. Spoon onto the brownies and carefully spread the frosting into an even layer.
- Cool completely (until the frosting has firmed up a bit) before cutting. You can speed along the cooling by placing the brownies in the refrigerator or freezer for a short time. Don't leave them in too long or the brownies could dry out.
Notes
- To toast pecans: Place in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and toasted. Watch them closely so that they don't burn.
