Ingredients

Mousse

  • 150 g durian flesh (seeds removed)
  • 150 g heavy whipping cream (chilled)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Garnish (Optional)

  • Rose petals (edible)
  • Gold flakes (edible)

Instructions

Preparing the durian flesh

  • The first step is to prepare the durian flesh. Separate the flesh and discard the seeds. For best results, the durian flesh should be chill.
  • Weigh the flesh and place it into a medium sized bowl. Set aside.

Making the durian mousse

  • Pour the whipping cream into a clean, grease-free bowl.
  • Add sugar to it.
  • Whip the cream until it reaches soft peak consistency. To check if the cream is ready, once you see it thickened, turn your machine off and lift the beaters up. If you see the cream at the bottom of the beaters in soft peaks, the cream is ready. Do not overbeat. Set the cream aside.
  • Next, beat the durian flesh for break it up. You can use the same whisk attachment you used to whip your cream. The flesh can be quite fibrous and that is fine. Suffice if you beat for about 30 seconds to break it into a creamy consistency.
  • Add the durian flesh into the cream.
  • Beat the durian mousse mixture briefly until both the cream and the durian flesh are thoroughly mixed.

Assembling the durian mousse dessert bowls

  • For easy handling, transfer the durian mousse into a piping bag. Snip the bottom to make a hole.
  • Pipe the durian mousse into prepared dessert bowls or cups.
  • Tap the bowls lightly to settle the mousse to a leveled surface. You can tap them onto your palms if you worry about breaking the bowls or you can even tap them on your kitchen counter by lining a kitchen towel on it first.
  • Garnish the top with a rose petal and some gold flakes. Refrigerate until ready to serve. These durian mousse dessert is best served chilled.

Notes

  • This is a small batch recipe, and makes only 3 dessert cups. Double or triple the recipe to make a larger batch for more serving size.
  • For best whipping results, make sure the cream is completely chilled. The bowl and the beaters should also be chilled.
  • Using a piping bag to fill the mousse cups will make it much easier to fill than with a spoon.
