Durian Tarts & A Little Giveaway
Hello Friends, Welcome to my new home. I’ve moved my whole blog Anncoo’s Hobby here and named as Anncoo Journal. You can still find all my previous recipes at the Category on the right sidebar. Hope you’ll like my new home and I assure you that more interesting recipes and handicrafts will be posted.
Durian season (click here) is now on it peaks and you can see them everywhere ~ at the roadside stalls, supermarkets and even in Hotels Buffet and High Tea. For my post today is Durian Tarts, it is love at first bite as you can feel the crust of the pastry shell and the softness of the durian filling in it. Mind you, only durian lovers can try this :p
Here is the recipe

Tart Shells
125g Cold butter – cut to cubes
120g Icing sugar, sifted
1 Egg
1/4 tsp Durian essence (optional)
320g Plain flour – sifted
- Cream butter and icing until light and fluffy. Add in egg and mix well.
- Pour in flour and mix for few seconds, stop machine.
- Use a rubber spatula to fold the flour mixture into a soft dough.
- Put soft dough in a plastic bag and chill in the fridge for 30 mins or freezer for 20 mins.
- Divide the pastry into 15 small balls and evenly press into 15 tart moulds. If you find the pastry is too soft and sticky, just return it to the fridge to harden a little.
- Prick the bottom of the pastry with a fork to allow steam to escape as the shell bakes.
- Bake in preheated oven at 180C for 15 minutes or until lightly brown. Remove from oven and leave to cool.
Durian Filling
150ml Water
65g Sugar
300g Full cream milk
Boil water and sugar together till sugar dissolved, off heat and stir in full cream milk and leave to cool.
3 Eggs
2 Egg yolks
120g Durian (blend fine)
Methods:
- Add eggs and egg yolks to the milk liquid, gently stir well with a hand whisk and pass it through a sift.
- Add the blended durian into the liquid, mix well and pour the durian mixture into the tart shells.
- Bake in preheated oven at 165C for about 20-25 mins or until cooked.
Enjoy!

Oohh… Those look delicious. ๐ Great durian recipes!
I'm Asian and I love durian. I can't eat more than one fleshy seed of the fruit, though. But I love durian sweets like tarts, candies, jams, and ice cream. Any recipes for those? ๐
I only know where to buy them but I want to be able to make them as well.
Hi Anncoo,
Thanks for sharing on the plastic sheets! If I happen to go the Jurong area (which is quite far from where I live), I will look out for it.

no wonder mine is like pastry and filling not even and i have a lot of filling left over): thank you!
Hi Wei, you must press the pastry evenly in the molds not too thick because after baked the pastry will puff a little, this is also the reason why poking holes in the pastry.
hello:) after baking the pastry, is yours like thick pastry and little filling? yours look really nice. and why must poke holes at the bottom? thank you!
I'm so glad to see you again and am following your beautiful new blog.
The bookmarks are gorgeous, they have so much "bling". =)
Thank Gera ๐
Anonymous ~ You can follow all the steps in my recipe except putting the tart shells in the oven. Store it in freezer for few days and bake straight from freezer for 20 mins before adding the durian filling or custard filling into it.
(I'm afraid that you keep the dough in the fridge for too long, the dough will dries up and cracks easily when kneading)
hi(: i would like to ask you, can i knead the dough for the crust like 2 days beforehand and fridge it? 2 days later when i knead it for baking, will it not taste nice? thank you!
Congrats for your new home that I know all the problems you've had with the comments in the old one. Good luck! ……..And wonderful tart shells ๐
Cheers,
Gera

Durian tarts sold at bakeries tend to take on a dirty yellow look, but yours look golden and good.
I'm sure they taste fabulous.
Congrats on the new home. Durian is such an acquired taste and so versatile. I bet the durian tart taste better the following day!

The new site looks very nice! I'm actually a rare person who doesn't love or hate durian. I like the taste, but the smell (and living in America) keeps me from eating it too often. I may just have to seek it out at the Asian grocery to give these tarts a try though.
The durian tarts are very unique and look delicious! Congrats on your new site!
Congrats on your new home. The tarts looks great. Happy to follow you here.
