Preparation of frosting
Preheat fire to medium low heat.
Step 1- Add 1 stick of Unsalted butter into a medium sized pot and let it melt. Turn your fire off.
Step 2- Add 1 Cup of evaporated milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon of Cornstarch into a small bowl. Stir all ingredients with a whisk until combined.
Preheat fire to medium low heat.
Step 3 Add 1 Cup of Brown Sugar into pot with melted butter. Let sit for 6 minutes stirring occasionally.
Turn fire up from medium low to medium high heat.
Step 4-Add Evaporated milk mixture and stir until combined. Let come to a simmer.
Step 7 Add 1 1/4 cups of flaked coconut and 1/2 cup of chopped Pecans. Let simmer for 5 to 6 minutes stirring occasionally.
Step 8- Turn fire off and let frosting cool completely.
Note- Frosting will thicken as it cools.
Troubleshoot– If your frosting has some oil build up add into a mesh strainer with a bowl or pan underneath it. This will remove the oil build up.
Storage- Place frosting into an airtight container or bowl. You can leave out at room temp or place it into fridge, and it will stay fresh up to 7 days.
