As another reviewer said, go ahead and crank up the heat, being sure to stir often to avoid scorching. Then, be sure to cook as long as it takes to thicken. Well worth it!! Yummy - and this isn't usually my cup of tea.

The reviewer Dana was right on. I did not even have to let mine sit (only to cool slighlty). Her direction of time and heat are perfect.

When I first seen this recipe and the reviews, I knew I had to try it! And it was the BEST thing I've ever tasted. My icing came out perfect! It thicked up after about 35 mins of wisking, to thicken it up I did NOT add anything, I simply put it in the freezer after it cooled so it could get nice and firm. And yes, its so good you will eat it from the bowl! lol Thanks so much for the recipe. I LOVED it!

Made this for my husband's birthday. It was a great success! Everyone at the party loved it. It was also the very first time I attempted to make home made frosting. The recipe is fantastically simple, hard to mess up. I will say, for anyone who's never made anything like this, it does take a bit for it to thicken up, and once it cools it gets thicker as well. I also used the recommendation to put in 1Tbs of cornstarch.

I made this for my dad this past weekend, putting it on a boxed cake mix. My dad RAVES about his late mother's german chocolate cake, so I didn't expect that this would measure up, but I wanted to give him something better than canned frosting. He LOVED this frosting and said it was as good as any he has ever eaten, including his mom's! It did take quite awhile to thicken, but if you have patience it will. I didn't change anything except used real butter instead of margarine. Great recipe!

I used the frosting from this recipe for my own version of German chocolate cake. [I used the Sock it To Me cake II, and added 12oz of Ghirardeli 60% cocoa chocolate chips) The frosting is simple and delicious. People came up and hugged me and thanked me for bringing the cake.

I love German Chocolate cake, it is my favorite... This was the first recipe I ever tried and I am so glad I did, it is perfect! I followed the recipe exactly, I just toasted the coconut as suggested by others here and it was really good! The cake was gone within a few minutes of serving it ;)

This frosting came out great and I got many compliments. You have to make sure you continue stirring on low heat or you will find bits of cooked eggs in your frosting. I used the one bowl chocolate cake recipe also found on allrecipes. Thanks for the recipe!
