Ingredients
Pandan Crepe
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pandan paste
Durian Filling
- 1 cup durian flesh, seeds removed
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
Cooking Steps
Pandan Crepe
- In a blender, combine the flour, eggs, milk, water, vegetable oil, salt, and pandan paste. Blend until smooth and well combined. Alternatively, whisk the ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with oil or butter.
- Pour a small amount of batter (about 1/4 cup) onto the pan, swirling to create a thin, even layer. Cook until the crepe is set and the edges begin to curl, about 1-2 minutes.
- Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for an additional 1 minute. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Durian Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the durian flesh, heavy whipping cream, and powdered sugar. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the mixture until soft peaks form.
Assembly
- Place a crepe on a flat surface, with the more attractive side facing down. Spoon a generous amount of the durian filling onto one half of the crepe.
- Fold the crepe in half, covering the filling. Press the edges gently to seal if desired.
- Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling. Serve the Durian Crepes chilled or at room temperature.
To create a truly memorable Durian Crepe, selecting the freshest and highest-quality ingredients is essential. Choose ripe durian with a rich and creamy texture for the best flavor. When making the pandan crepe, use pandan paste or fresh pandan juice for an authentic taste and vibrant green color. As you savor each bite of this unique Malaysian treat, appreciate the harmonious blend of flavors and textures that make Durian Crepe a dessert like no other. Embrace the daring and indulge in the delightful world of durian desserts.
