Making Durian Crepe is Easier than You Think
What is a Durian Crepe?
Durian crepes are a popular Southeast Asian dessert. They are made with a thin pancake-like batter that is filled with a rich and creamy durian filling. Durian is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia, and it is known for its strong smell and sweet flavor. It has a creamy, custard-like texture which makes it perfect for making crepes.
Ingredients Needed for Durian Crepes
To make durian crepes, you will need all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, eggs, milk, butter, and of course, durian. You can use any type of durian for this recipe, but the best kind is the Musang King variety, which has a sweet and creamy flavor.
How To Make Durian Crepes
To start, you will need to make the crepe batter. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until they are light and fluffy. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until you get a smooth batter.
Filling and Cooking the Durian Crepes
Once you have your crepe batter, it’s time to make the durian filling. In a blender, blend together the durian, sugar, and milk until you get a smooth mixture. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour a ladleful of the crepe batter into the pan and swirl it around until it covers the bottom. Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes on each side until it is lightly golden.
Serving the Durian Crepes
Once your crepes are cooked, it’s time to assemble them. Place one crepe on a plate and spread a generous amount of the durian filling on it. Top it with another crepe and repeat until all the crepes are filled. Serve the durian crepes warm with a sprinkle of icing sugar or a scoop of ice cream. Enjoy!
