1 c. evaporated milk
3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/3 c. Baker's Angel Flake coconut
1 c. sugar
1/4 lb. (1/2 c.) butter
1 c. chopped pecans

Combine milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter, and vanilla in a saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat. Add coconut and pecans. Beat until cool and thick enough to spread. Makes 2 1/2 cups or enough for tops of three 8 or 9 inch layers.
