- How to make Coconut-Pecans Flling. In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together milk, egg yolks and vanilla over medium heat until blended. Add in butter and sugar and continue to cook over medium heat until the mixture begins to thicken (about 12 minutes). Whisk continuously or you risk overcooking the eggs..
- The mixture will be thick and golden brown when it's ready. Remove from the heat and fold in the Coconut and Pecans filling. Cool to a spreadable consistency..
