Ingredients

Scale
  • One 8x8 or 9×9 pan cooked and cooled brownies (boxed or homemade)
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk (full fat)
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk (beaten)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 1 3/4 cups sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the evaporated milk, granulated sugar, egg yolk, and butter. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 8-10 minutes while whisking frequently until it thickens.
  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, chopped toasted pecans, and sweetened shredded coconut. Mix well until combined.
  3. Spoon the coconut pecan frosting onto the cooled brownies. Carefully spread the frosting into an even layer using a spatula.
  4. Allow the brownies to cool completely so that the frosting firms up a bit. If you're in a hurry, place them in the refrigerator or freezer briefly—just be cautious not to dry out your brownies!
