The Many Uses Of Durians

 

Do you live in tropical Singapore or Malaysia and are familiar with the durian fruit? You've most likely come across this fruit, which is popular among many people in these countries. Durians are well-liked for their tasty sweet gold flesh, which creates addictions in those with a sweet tooth.

Durian is not only eaten as a fruit but also as a vegetable. Durian flesh can be used to make a variety of products, including durian cream puffs and durian mooncakes. Other dessert options include durian ice cream, durian chendol, and durian candy sweets.

Durian Mooncake

Flour, egg, meat and meat-based products, nuts, beans, and durian fruit paste are used to make durian mooncakes. Microbial infections such as mould and parasites, as well as toxic pollutants such as antibiotics and animal feed supplements, may have been present in durian mooncake ingredients.

Durian mooncakes should be stored in ideal conditions and surrounded by oxygen absorbers to avoid deterioration and to maintain an anaerobic environment conducive to retaining freshness and flavour for an extended period of time.

Durian Cream Puff

This dessert is perfect for a family get-together. If you're short on time, use ready-made choux pastry.

To enjoy the pulpy bits in between, use fresh durian flesh for an extra burst of flavour.

However, keep in mind that these cream puffs are not suitable for beginners because they necessitate a high level of technical skill, such as creaming and pastry-making.

Durian Ice Cream

On a hot day, ice cream is ideal. Fortunately, Singapore has plenty of that.

While durian ice cream is widely available elsewhere, many suppliers use artificial durian flavours rather than fresh durian because they are much easier to work with. If you really want that distinct durian flavour, however, you should consider making your own at home.

A durian variety had to be included in the most popular dessert of all time. It goes without saying that, like every other fruit with its own ice cream, the King of Fruits deserves a place in the ice cream world. On a hot, sunny day, allow the ice cream to melt in your mouth to keep you cool.

Durian Chendol

Chendol is a Southeast Asian cold dessert made with coconut milk, palm sugar, red beans, and various fillers. This magnificent concoction of delectable ingredients has recently gained notoriety. Because it combines two of Southeast Asia's "holy grail" fruits — coconut and durian — in one dish, I'd say it's an excellent dessert ambassador for the Southeast Asian world.

Durian Dodol

Dodol, a popular Southeast Asian and South Asian sweet, is no stranger to the durian game. This has to be the first time a durian dessert has been made. It's ideal for when you want to satisfy your durian craving without stinking up your entire mouth.

Durian Sticky Rice

Durian sticky rice is a hearty and filling dessert that is a durian lover's take on mango sticky rice.

This dish is ideal for beginners, and you can boost the flavour by adding more durians to the 'broth.'

Sugar should be reduced if you want a more distinct durian flavour.

Surely, there are other food uses for durian flesh besides the ones listed above.
