Ingredients
- 1 cup (8 ounces) of evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons Rodelle Vanilla Extract
- 2 XL egg yolk
- 1 stick (8 Tablespoons) unsalted butter, VERY soft
- 1 cup chopped, toasted pecans
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
Notes
- To a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter, milk, sugar, and egg yolks. Whisk to combine. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, whisking often or until the mixture has thickened. You’ll know it’s thickened enough when you put a spoon in the pan, pull it out, and run your finger down the back of the spoon. If the swipe stays, your mixture is ready.
- Remove the pan from the heat, and add in the vanilla, pecans, and coconut. Mix to combine. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and place it in the fridge to cool. You want the mixture to cool to the touch but still be thick and spreadable.
- At this point you can use it for cookies, cakes or as a dessert dip
