1st time I have ever made or tried this type of cake & I found it deliscious. Everyone else, indcluding two who love German Choc cake said it was the best they'd had. I toasted the coconut & pecans, and paired this recipe with the Hershey's cocoa buttercream on the sides.

Best recipe. You have to have patience when it comes to the mixture thickening. Turn that heat to low or medium, and keep stirring!!!! I made this frosting before. It was a disaster because I didn't follow instructions about the heat and the constant stirring. Second time around I aced it.

This frosting is simple to make and tastes fantastic! I was a little concerned when the frosting looked a bit 'cloudy' when first finished however, overnight the frosting resting in the refrigerator looked exactly the way it should the next morning for icing the cake. Great color ~ great texture ~ great taste! Absolutely delicious!! Aunt Tilly

loved this recipe, turned out great, will definitely make it again. only thing i did differently is i mixed he egg yolks and the milk first before i added it to the pan just to make sure the yolk would curdle.

This frosting was absolutely delicious! The cake disappeared in less than two days! It was easy to make, and I had no problem getting it to thicken. The key is to cook it on medium heat.

An excellent recipe! A couple of alterations I made to it were... 1) as other reviewers suggested, cooking it on med/low to med heat, but I only stirred occasionally. 2) I found it to be a bit thin even after the cooking process, so I just added more coconut (approx 1/2 to 1 cup additional). Next time I make this (and I most definitely will), I may cut down on the sugar a bit as I typically use sweetened coconut.

Made this today to frost a boxed German Chocolate cake. It was delicious. Very easy recipe. I thought that I hadnt cooked the mixture long enough because it didnt seem overly thick, but once it cooled it was the perfect consistency. I will definitely use this recipe again.

This recipe was incredibly easy to make and tasted absolutely delicious! I poured ganache over the layers of cake and used the frosting for the center of the cake and the top leaving the ganache for the sides leaving it beautiful and tasty!
