    Dissolve cornstarch in milk. Place cornstarch mixture, sugars, egg yolks, butter and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickens and just starts to bubble, about 7 minutes. Scrape the sides of blender with a rubber spatula and blend several more seconds. Transfer the mixture to a medium-size bowl and stir in the vanilla. Put a piece of plastic wrap over bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. When cool, stir in the nuts and coconut. Makes about 2 cups of topping.
