1. Ingredients For Durian Sweet Soup
- 1 ripe durian
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (you can use coconut powder to save time)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup palm sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 pandan leaf (optional, for added aroma)
- A pinch of salt
- Crushed ice (for serving)
- Sliced jackfruit or other tropical fruits (optional, for garnish)
2. Instructions for the sweet soup
2.1 Prepare the Durian
Carefully cut open the ripe durian and remove the flesh. Be cautious of the thorns on the outer shell.
Remove the seeds and set aside the durian flesh in a bowl. You'll want about 1 to 1.5 cups of durian flesh for this recipe
2.2 Blend the Durian
Place the durian flesh in a blender or food processor.
Add the water and blend until you have a smooth durian puree. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well combined
2.3 Create the Durian Base
In a saucepan, add the durian puree, coconut milk, palm sugar, pandan leaf (if using), and a pinch of salt.
Stir the mixture over low heat until the palm sugar has completely dissolved and the ingredients are well combined. Be careful not to boil the mixture; you want to gently warm it to preserve the flavors
2.4 Adjust Sweetness
Taste the soup and adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more palm sugar if needed
2.5 Chill
Remove the pandan leaf if used, and let the durian sweet soup cool to room temperature
2.6 Serve
Once the soup has cooled, transfer it to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least an hour
2.7 Garnish and Enjoy
When you're ready to serve, scoop the chilled durian sweet soup into bowls.
Add crushed ice for a refreshing contrast in texture and to keep it cool.
Optionally, garnish with sliced jackfruit or other tropical fruits for an extra burst of flavor and color
