absolutely loved this I would absolutely let it firm up in the refrigerator I had a bit of a hard time icing the cake with it at room temp, so I put the cake in the fridge and for 30 minutes and when I brought it back out the icing on it was a lot more workable!!! This cake only lasted 2 days in my house mmmmmmm

This was really, really good. But like the other reviewer said, give it time to firm up. I frosted too soon and it was runny.

VERY good, i did have a bit of a problem with it not being thick enough though, so i doubled the cornstarch, i also added a bit of vanilla (and didn't use the walnuts, maybe that was why the consistancy was to thin?)....overall? great recipe!

Hubby used this recipe to top his german chocolate pie with. He toasted the coconut first & he subbed pecans for walnuts. He said it's better than the recipe he has used in the past...thanks!

I changed a couple things on this recipe--I added 1 tsp more corn starch since several other raters said it was too thin. That made it the perfect consistancy. I also added an additional 1/2 cup coconut, 2 tsps vanilla and I used pecans instead of walnuts. I thought it was very good but agree with Jeanne A that it is missing that something special. It was very good though and I will use it again. Thanks Sierra

This was a yummy frosting that topped our cake nicely, but it was lacking that extra something special that I'm looking for that you find in bakery GC frosting. Wonderful though and quite easy!

I thought this recipe was fantastic! I added 1 tsp. of vanilla and substituted pecans for the walnuts. I also toasted the pecans and coconut first.

Very tasty!! This frosting is not sickeningly sugary like some frostings, and I would willingly eat it even without a cake under it... However, be VERY careful not to overheat the frosting; on one memorable occasion I ended up picking out bits of cooked yolk at the end.

This frosting was a bit loose, but the taste was wonderful and I would use it again. Next time I may boil it a bit longer.

Frosting was great! Tasted great on the german chocolate cake recipe. I changed one thing, I used pecans instead of the walnuts. Be sure to let it set to thicken.

My boyfriend started eating this frosting with a spoon it was SO good. One word of advice, wisk the cornstarch in with the half/half first so there are no lumps later. I used Pecans and toasted both them and the coconut as others suggested, it was WONDERFUL!

I have been looking for a good GC frosting -- this was it! I must admit, though, I used pecans, not walnuts. I'm fairly certain (??) that tradition would have you use pecans for a GC cake... besides, I am allergic to walnuts, so that never would have worked. :) It turned out great -- thanks!

OH man..I could eat this frosting till I couldn't see straight anymore. I love german chocolate cake...(no one's is as good as my mema's) but the frosting makes up for that. Our regular recipe calls for either milk or evaporated milk I believe, but half and half is certainly a great substitute. Thanks so much Sierra.
