THE IDEAL RECIPE FOR CHOCOLATE DURIAN ICE CREAM

As the Malaysian durian (a smelly yet tasty fruit) enters our shores for the first time, we ask the Asian supermarket chain Wing Yip to share their favourite durian recipes to help you fall in love with the durian this year…

Chocolate Durian Ice Cream

Makes 3-4 portions

Ingredients

1 durian (approximately 300g of flesh)
50g cocoa powder
100g sugar
150ml plain yogurt
220ml whipping cream
Optional: ½ vanilla pod, seeds scraped

1. Blitz the durian flesh, cocoa powder and sugar in a food processor, until it becomes smooth. If using a vanilla pod, add the seeds to the durian mixture at this point.
2. Place the durian puree into a clean bowl and add the yogurt, folding them together.
3. Whip the cream until you form stiff peaks. Carefully fold this into the durian and yoghurt mix.
4. Place in an ice cream maker and mix until the durian mixture becomes very thick and starts to freeze. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, place in a covered container and freeze. Stir every 20-30 minutes until the mixture is almost frozen, approximately 2 hours.
5. Enjoy on its own or with fresh berries.
