Easy Recipe: Perfect German Chocolate Frosting
German Chocolate Frosting. Heat again- Mix constantly until mixture thickens. German chocolate cake frosting is a light brown, slightly caramelized frosting with shreds of sweetened coconut and chopped pecans throughout it.
Most recipes use canned evaporated milk, which unless you're using the whole can at once, is annoying for small batch baking. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. It's pretty sweet by itself, but when paired with coconut pecan filling AND chocolate frosting, it makes my teeth hurt.
Remove from heat- And pour whisked eggs while whisking vigorously.
You get all of the taste with less cholesterol.
Sure, a moist German chocolate cake is rich and decadent on its own, but no chocolate cake is complete without frosting. Remove from heat and stir in pecans and coconut. Allow to cool completely before layering it on the cake.
