Butter Pecan-Coconut Topping
Yield: 1 1/3 cups

You can even double the recipe to top & fill between German Chocolate cake layers,
except, keep it still to just 1 egg yolk; if you want to frost it, you'd need to make more.

1/4 c granulated sugar  (or Whey Low Type D)
2 Tbsp butter, softened
1 1/2 Tbsp BB BUTTERMILK
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 c chopped pecans
1/3 c coconut flakes

In a small saucepan, combine sugar, butter, buttermilk and yolk together. Whisk constantly, over medium heat. It'll first boil up then after 3-5 minutes, darken and thicken. Remove from heat; stir in the vanilla, pecans and coconut. Spread topping, over tops of banana bread loaves, slightly chill to set up. Serving Ideas: Topping for carrot cake or German Chocolate cakes.
