- To make the frosting, stir the egg yolks and sugar together in the top of a double boiler over simmering water and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and pale in color. Gradually add the butter, a few tablespoons at a time, and cook, continuing to stir constantly, until the mixture is thick and translucent.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the bourbon, vanilla and almond extracts. Stir in the fruit, nuts, and coconut and cool slightly to a spreadable consistency before using, about 10 minutes.
