Ingredients
    Step 1: Puff Pastry Layers
  • puff pastry (1 sheet, thawed)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
  • powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Step 2: Durian Mousse
  • 2 cups durian (flesh, fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
Instructions
  1. Preheat Oven:

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

     
  2. Prepare Puff Pastry:

    Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface. Brush with melted butter and fold it in half. Repeat this process once more. Cut into squares.

     
  3. Bake Puff Pastry:

    Place the pastry squares on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool completely.

     
  4. Make Durian Mousse:

    In a blender, combine durian flesh, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Blend until smooth.

     
  5. Assemble Layers:

    Once the puff pastry is cooled, place a layer on a serving dish. Spoon a generous amount of durian mousse over it. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of durian mousse on top.

     
  6. Chill:

    Refrigerate the Divine Durian Delight for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set.

     
  7. Dust with Powdered Sugar:

    Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.

     
  8. Garnish:

    Garnish with fresh durian slices on top or around the plate for a visually appealing presentation.

     
  9. Serve:

    Slice and serve the Divine Durian Delight, indulging in the tropical flavors and textures that make this dessert a true delight. Enjoy the unique taste of durian in a luxurious and delightful form!
