How to Make Coconut Pecan Icing

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup milk, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large egg yolks, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  4. Beat the icing by hand until it cools and thickens to a spreadable consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
