After Baking:
COCONUT PECAN FROSTING
In medium saucepan, combine egg and evaporated milk. Add sugar and butter. Cook and stir over medium heat about 12 minutes
or until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat. In a separate saucepan, melt bittersweet chocolate. Stir in flaked coconut,
chopped pecans and bittersweet chocolate. Cover and cool completely. Cool and spread frosting on top of each cupcake.
* For toasted coconut, spread thin layer of coconut on a sheet pan with a rim. Bake at 350˚ for 10 minutes. When opening the oven
door, beware of steam coming from the oven. Coconut flakes are high in fat and this steam can irritate your eyes. Stir the coconut
and continue to cook until desired brown color. The pecans can be toasted in this same manner.
Makes 2 dozen cupcakes.
