Coconut-Pecan Filling
Serves: Approximately 4 cups
 
This iconic nutty filling is decadent enough to eat by itself, but it is especially good when paired with the other elements of our Blonde German Chocolate Cakes.
Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1½ cups unsweetened, grated coconut
  • 1 cup chopped toasted pecans
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, cook together butter, sugars, egg yolks, milk, vanilla extract, and salt over low heat until thickened, 10 to 12 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in coconut and pecans. Let cool completely to room temperature before using.
