As you savor each spoonful, the smooth and silky coconut milk will balance the boldness of the Durian, adding a touch of sweetness and a luxurious creaminess that envelops your palate. The pandan leaves, with their subtle floral notes, lend a delicate fragrance that enhances the overall experience, transporting you to the tropical paradise of Malaysia. 

Ingredients:
  • 500 grams fresh Durian pulp (seeded and mashed)
  • 400 ml coconut milk
  • 100 grams palm sugar (gula melaka), grated
  • 4 pandan leaves, knotted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
  • Water, as needed

Instructions:
  1. In a medium-sized pot, combine the coconut milk, grated palm sugar, pandan leaves, and salt. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the palm sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture starts to simmer.
  2. Reduce the heat to low and add the mashed Durian pulp to the pot. Stir gently to incorporate the Durian into the coconut milk mixture.
  3. Allow the Pengat Durian to simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  4. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the pot while stirring continuously. This will help thicken the Pengat Durian to a desired consistency. If needed, add a little water to adjust the thickness.
  5. Continue simmering the mixture for an additional 5-10 minutes until it reaches a thick and creamy consistency. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  6. Serve the famous Pengat Durian warm or chilled, allowing its heavenly flavors to delight your taste buds. You can garnish it with additional Durian pulp or a sprinkle of grated palm sugar for an extra touch of decadence.
