Chantilly Frosting

1. 1

   Combine milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter and vanilla in the top portion of a double boiler, or in a bowl placed over a saucepan of boiling water.

2. 2

   Cook over medium heat until thick, about 12 minutes, stirring constantly to keep the eggs from scrambling and the frosting from clumping.

3. 3

   Remove from heat. Add coconut and/or nuts if desired. Cool, stirring occasionally, until thick enough to spread.

4. 4

   Makes enough to frost a 9- by-13-inch cake or two 8-inch layers.
