Directions:
1. Add evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter and vanilla to a large pan and place on stovetop over medium heat.
2. Stir so that it becomes well combined. Continue stirring until thickened, this takes approximately 11-12 minutes. I set my time for 11 minutes and 30 seconds, this seems to work every time.
3. Once thickened remove from heat and add coconut and pecans. Beat until thick enough to spread.
4. Spread frosting over the tops of cooled cookies.

OPTIONAL:
Drizzle with melted candy coating and let set up. Top with white chocolate heart. See note.
