GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE ICING
I created this icing while searching for a German chocolate icing that did not include evaporated milk or eggs. I find this recipe has more of a caramel flavor that the traditional recipes. Yummy!

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE ICING / FROSTING
I never liked German Chocolate cake until I met my husband and got this recipe from my mother in law. It is soooo good! It's also horribly unhealthy for you but sometimes it's worth it to indulge! I always have to make it for my hubby's birthday and now my dad's birthday as well! As a note, this recipe is for the icing & we just buy a box of mix for the cake. Please note a few things: 1) Be sure to stir the mix every few seconds on the stove to avoid sticking 2) Be sure the mix comes to a strong, rolling boil to provide a smooth texture by reducing those sugar grains 3) This is a caramel type icing and won't adhere to the sides of the cake well 4) I usually premeasure the milk, coconut, & pecans to help things move along quickly. Enjoy!!

DIABETIC GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE ICING
YES YOU CAN! This icing is my absolute FAVE!This recipe came from my second mom & hair-do fairy godmother. Marline. My mom makes the "regular" kind and when Splenda came up with the brown sugar substitute and I learned to make diabetic sweetened condensed milk (recipe#143017) I decided to try to make it "unleaded". Hope it turns out to your liking. Try it with some of the other low-sugar chocolate cakes here at Zaar and let me know what you think!
