Bake homemade or store bought boxed brownies according to recipe directions in an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan; cool.
Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat; stir frequently, watching closely so that they don't burn; set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine evaporated milk, sugar, beaten egg yolk and butter; bring to a simmer; cook 8-10 minutes, whisking frequently.
Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract, pecans and coconut. Spoon onto brownies; evenly spread out frosting.
Cool completely until frosting has firmed up before cutting. If desired, speed the cooling up by placing the brownies in the refrigerator or freezer for a short time. Don't leave them in too long or the brownies could dry out.
12 servings.
