German Chocolate Brownies with Coconut Pecan Topping 🇩🇪🍫

2️⃣ Make the Coconut Pecan Topping:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine evaporated milk, egg yolks, sugar, and butter over medium heat.
2. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens into a custard-like consistency (about 8–12 minutes). It should coat the back of a spoon.
3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, shredded coconut, and toasted pecans.
4. Let the topping cool slightly to thicken before spreading.

3️⃣ Assemble:

1. Once brownies are completely cooled, spread the coconut pecan topping evenly over the top.
2. Optional: Sprinkle with additional toasted pecans or drizzle with melted chocolate for extra decadence.

4️⃣ Chill & Slice:

• Refrigerate the assembled brownies for at least 45 minutes before slicing for cleaner edges.
• Cut into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
