I created this icing while searching for a German chocolate cake frosting without eggs or evaporated milk. I find this recipe has more of a caramel flavor than other more traditional versions.

Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar
½ cup milk, or more as needed
½ cup butter
1 cup flaked coconut, or more to taste
¼ cup chopped pecans, or more to taste

Directions

Bring brown sugar, milk, and butter to a boil in a large saucepan, stirring occasionally. Boil until icing thickens and reaches 240 degrees F to 245 degrees F (115 degrees C to 118 degrees C) on a candy thermometer, 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in coconut and pecans. If icing is too thick, thin with milk to desired consistency.
