German Chocolate Brownies with Coconut Pecan Topping

Make the Coconut Pecan Topping

1. In a saucepan, combine evaporated milk, egg yolks, sugar, and butter.Heat gently so the mixture thickens without scrambling the eggs.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 8–12 minutes).Look for a pudding-like consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, shredded coconut, and pecans.Mix until evenly distributed and aromatic.
4. Let cool slightly.Warm topping spreads smoothly but should not be runny.

Assemble

• Spread the coconut pecan topping evenly over the cooled brownies.Gently nudge it into the corners for full coverage.

Chill & Slice

• Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes before slicing.Chilling firms the topping, making clean, sharp edges easier to achieve.

Finish with extra toasted pecans or a drizzle of melted chocolate for a stunning presentation. Serve chilled or at room temperature for maximum flavor. 🇩🇪🍫
