A lady I know makes the best German filling (for upside down German chocolate cake where the gooey bit is in the middle) in the world. I can't get enough of this stuff. Makes enough to fill one 9-inch chocolate cake. This will keep for one week in the fridge.
Ingredients:
2 egg yolks
1/3 cup butter, cut in small pieces
2/3 cup whipping cream (heavy cream)
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine egg yolks, butter, whipping cream, and sugar.
2. Whisk constantly over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a full boil.
3. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla, coconut, and pecans.
4. Let cool, then refrigerate until mixture is thickened.
5. Layer between chocolate cake.
