A few weeks ago I was craving a german chocolate cake with the yummy coconut pecan icing. Well I was in the "creating" mood and decided I would make my own icing. I could eat this icing with a spoon right out of the bowl, again I have done this but I don't recommend. I think that each spoonful went right to my hips...not good.
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup heavy cream
3 Tbsp butter
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/2 tsp vanilla
Stir together the first 4 ingredients in a 2 quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick and just starts to boil. Stir in remaining ingredients and cool to room temperature. Use to ice cake, sugar cookies or serve warm over ice cream...Very yummy.

I used to make German Chocolate cake and the icing with a mix many years ago; until I tried making it from scratch. Not only is the icing so much better; but the cake is too. I've got another icing variation, but mouth watering now for either one...and a spoon!

Thank you for posting. I love the icing right out of the bowl, sad thing is, my hips don't!
