“Scrumptious durian dessert recipe, now comes with a professional video cookbook, by and on foodforlifetv.com”
The media news and durian experts speculated that MSW (Musang King) durians would drop its price this August. So, I thought it’s the best time (again) to eat the king of fruits, durian. To me, it’s more that just eating this creamy fruit, incorporate yummy durian into your homemade dessert and baked goodness would be an excellent idea, too!
The super aromatic and crunchy banana crumbs as the topping is something you wouldn’t want to miss. Make sure you have it to compliment this durian cake in glass well.
See, I have the nice video recipe (with full written recipe onsite, too) of my durian dessert embedded for you, here:
This durian dessert is not difficult to assemble. With its beautiful presentation, it’s definitely something for you to show off and proud of.

Tips: If you think the durian tastes sweet enough, omit sugar. If the texture of the durian you have is the wetter kind, omit the heavy cream. If you prefer to taste more of the original flavour of the durian, omit both sugar and heavy cream.
*Use a really cold mixer and bowl to whip the cream. Suggest placing the mixing equipment into freezer for at least 10 minutes before use.
*Use any type of glass or cup to serve your durian dessert.
* Monitor the baking of banana streusel to avoid burning.
