German Chocolate Frosting is all things buttery and sweet, with the perfect amount of pecans and coconut to round out the flavor and texture!
Add the butter, milk, and sugar to a large saucepan over medium heat and allow to melt, stirring occasionlly.
Add the egg yolks to a small bowl and ladle in about 2 tablespoons of the warm stovetop mixture. Stir, and repeat once more.
Then, add the egg mixture to the saucepan and stir. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture has thickened.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt, followed by the coconut, and pecans.
Transfer to a bowl and place in the refrigerator to chill for about 2-3 hours.
