This sweet, crusty and chunky topping is a great change from icing. Be sure to use full-fat evaporated milk.
Ingredients
-
2/3 cup (150 mL) chopped pecans
2/3 cup (150 mL) sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (125 mL) evaporated milk
1 egg yolk
3 tbsp (45 mL) butter
1/2 tsp (2 mL) vanilla
Preparation
On separate baking sheets, toast chopped pecans and coconut in 350°F (180°C) oven, stirring once, until golden, about 6 minutes for coconut, about 8 minutes for pecans. Transfer to same large bowl; let cool.
Meanwhile, in saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar, evaporated milk and egg yolk; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until consistency is as thick as sweetened condensed milk or between pouring and pudding custard, 8 to 10 minutes.
Stir in butter and vanilla. Stir into pecan mixture until butter is melted. Let cool.
