Durian Cheese Tarts

Hi there, how are you? I've been absent for sometime, and friends have been asking why there is no new post lately..;p I did bake but all old stuffs like chiffon cake and baos. (requested by my daughter) With only 3 of us, those food need some time to finish..;)
Alright, enough for my excuses...bla bla bla..;p

Are you a durian fan? I am, and I'll go crazy with this fruit! The past 2 weeks I've been craving for durians. I just can't let it down..haha! Yesterday while my daughter and me went out for dinner at the nearest mall, I saw some durians!!! And I was like walking faster and faster to that stall, and my girl asked me "mummy why are you rushing"? I told her I saw durians!..haha! Crazy me!



After almost 20 seeds of durians, I thought of saving some for these tarts. Aren't they look lovely..;)


Transform my blueberry cheese tarts's recipe into durian cheese tarts. And top with fresh cream and durian....Wonderful!

Did a small tiny one for my girl to try. She doesn't really like durian, hopefully she'll like this.
A peep the inside of this tart, the soft and creamy fillings are just right to match with the crust pastry.

Here's my version of the fillings:
250g Cream cheese
50g Durian flesh
50g castor sugar
20g butter
1 egg

~ Beat the cream cheese, sugar and durian until light and fluffy.
~ Add in egg and beat well.
~ Transform the cheese mixture onto the baked tarts shells.
~ Bake at 180'C for 15 minutes.
~ Cool and pipe cream topping on top.
~ Chill before serve.
Topping:
250g Fresh cream
20g Durian flesh
~Beat together until its almost stiff.

Cheers!!

  5. I love love durian. I actually never make any type of dessert with it. As you know it is difficult to get durian here and when we usually only get one and no leftover for dessert. All I can do is drool over your beautiful durian tarts :(
