For the coconut cream filling:

Add 1 can of coconut cream and 2 egg yolks to a medium saucepan. Heat until boiling. Add cornstarch to thicken. Place in fridge until cool.

Once cooled, whip 2 egg yolks until stiff peaks form. Fold in cooled coconut cream mixture. Set in fridge to keep cool.


For the icing:

Mix the following ingredients on a stove set on medium heat until thickened:

1 cup evaporated milk

1 cup sugar

3 beaten egg yolks

1/2 cup butter

Once you are done stirring in the above ingredients add the coconut and pecans.
Cool the frosting until it is firm and easy to spread.

Once the cupcakes have cooled, cut a small cone shape in each of them for the filling, like so:

Spread on your frosting and enjoy!!!
