How to Make Durian Tart

• 1

  Mixing the Dough

  Add 500g of unsalted butter and 60g of sugar into a mixing bowl. Use a mixer to blend the mixture well, or you can place the mixture in a dough mixer.

  Next, add one egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and continue mixing at high speed until the mixture is well combined.

  Finally, add 500g of flour and mix until the mixture forms a uniform dough that no longer sticks to the bowl, then turn off the mixer.

  Kneading the Dough and Shaping

  Sprinkle some flour on the table to prevent sticking while kneading the dough. Then divide the dough into two equal parts.

  Next, knead each piece of dough evenly, then sprinkle some flour on top, using a rolling pin to flatten it.

  Use a 6cm round removable bottom mold to cut the dough. Next, place the cut dough into the bottom of the mold, using the leftover dough to wrap around the sides, pressing gently to shape the tart.

  Then, use a fork to prick the surface of the tart.

  Tip: You can use a ceramic baking dish to stabilize and create a nicer shape for the tart shell.
