Coconut Pecan Frosting
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Brownies – Bake brownies according to package in a 9×9-inch pan. Let cool.
- Coconut Pecan Frosting – In a large saucepan, stir together butter, egg yolks, sugar, milk, and vanilla over medium heat for 10 minutes, or until thickened, stirring consistently. Add coconut and pecans.
In a microwave-safe bowl, cook caramel bits and heavy cream for 30-second increments, stirring between each until melted. Drizzle over brownies. Let cool.
Spread frosting over top of caramel. Top with melted chocolate and pecans, if desired. Chill before slicing into 16 squares.
Notes
- The frosting recipe yields a generous amount; consider using 2 boxes of brownie mix in a 9×13-inch pan for more servings.
- For storage, wrap uncut brownies in foil and plastic wrap, then freeze for up to 4 months. Store cut brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
