How to Choose Durian
- You should buy durian fruits that have a strong aroma, and when tapped, they produce a dull sound, indicating that they are ripe, with thick and firm flesh.
- It is advisable to buy durians that have a fresh stem, a slightly green color, and still moist sap. The durian skin should be moss green or yellowish, with large and evenly spaced spikes, and the body should be swollen and clearly show the segments.
- Do not buy durians with a faint smell or even no smell at all, and if tapped they make a “coong coong” sound, as these may be durians treated with chemicals, possibly with large seeds and not tasty.

How to make Durian Cream Cake
-
Cook durian with milk
First, add 500g of durian, 25g of sugar, and 170ml of unsweetened fresh milk into the pot, turn on medium heat and place the pot on the stove.
Use a flat whisk to stir continuously for about 5 minutes until the mixture is well combined. When the mixture starts to boil, gently shake the pot for about 2 minutes, then pour the durian milk mixture into a bowl to cool.
-
Blend the durian mixture
Next, you use a hand blender to blend the durian mixture in the bowl for about 3 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and fine.

Make durian cake cream
Pour 500ml of whipping cream into a bowl, use a mixer to whisk the cream on low speed for 1 minute, then whisk on high speed for 9 minutes until the whipping cream becomes stiff and smooth.
Next, you add all 500ml of whipped cream into the blended durian mixture bowl, using a spatula to mix well so that the ingredients combine, and then put it into a piping bag.

Making durian cake
Prepare a rotating table and place a tray on the tabletop. Put a round sponge cake with a thickness of about 2 fingers into the tray.
One hand holds the prepared piping bag so that the handle is perpendicular to the surface of the cake, with the tip of the piping bag positioned in the center of the sponge cake. The other hand holds the rotating table and gently rotates it. Squeeze the piping bag lightly to let the cream flow out in circles from the inside to the outside until the entire surface of the cake is covered.
Next, one hand holds the knife parallel to the surface of the cake, with the tip of the knife placed right in the middle of the cake, the blade lightly touching the layer of cream, while the other hand gently rotates the table, applying light pressure with the knife to spread the durian cream evenly across the surface of the cake, creating a flat layer of cream.
Continue by placing the second sponge cake on top and repeat the process as with the first layer. For the third layer of sponge cake, add all the remaining durian cream on top of the cake and use the knife to spread the cream evenly across the surface of the cake.
