Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, whisk the flour, salt and cocoa powder together.
Create a “double boiler” by placing a large bowl over a saucepan containing a small amount of water.
Place the chocolate chips and butter in the bowl and turn the heat to low.
Stir the chocolate and butter frequently while melting to avoid burning the chocolate.
Once the butter and chocolate have completely melted, add in the sugar and whisk to combine.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before whisking in the eggs, 1 at a time.
Add the vanilla and mix.
Use a spatula to fold in the flour mixture.
Pour into a greased 9x13 pan and place in the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out cleanly.
Remove and allow to cool.
To make the frosting, place the milk, egg yolks and sugar in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat and whisk for 10-12 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken.
Remove from heat and add vanilla, coconut and pecans and stir.
Pour over the top of the brownies and spread in an even layer.
Allow to cool before slicing into squares and serving.
