Yield Makes enough for one 9-inch 3-layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large egg yolks
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
1 1/4 cups packed light-brown sugar
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and brought to room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 2/3 cups (7 ounces) sweetened flaked coconut
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Combine egg yolks, evaporated milk, and brown sugar in a saucepan. Add butter, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick, about 10 minutes. Pour through a fine sieve into a bowl.
  • Stir in vanilla, salt, coconut, and pecans. Let cool completely. Frosting can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 day; bring to room temperature before using.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect consistency for your frosting, make sure to use full-fat coconut milk and vegan butter. This will give your frosting a rich and creamy texture.
  • If you don't have coconut sugar on hand, you can substitute granulated sugar or brown sugar. However, coconut sugar will give your frosting a slightly caramelized flavor.
  • For a thicker frosting, refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before using. This will make it easier to spread and pipe.
  • If you want to add a little extra flavor to your frosting, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract.
  • Garnish your frosted treats with toasted coconut or chopped pecans for an extra touch of flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

This vegan coconut pecan frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you're looking for a frosting that's rich and creamy, or light and fluffy, this recipe has you covered. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give this frosting a try.
