5. Whisk the egg yolks, milk and vanilla in a large saucepan using a wire whisk until well combined. Add sugar and butter and cook over medium heat until firm and golden brown. Remove from heat.
6. Add the coconut and nuts and mix well. Cool to desired consistency. Makes about 4-1/2 cups frosting, enough to frost 3 cake layers or 36 cupcakes.
Enjoy !
