Durian Cream Crepes

Ingredients

Crepes

  • 50 g plain flour
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 30 g castor sugar
  • 160 g water
  • 40 g whole milk
  • 30 g butter, melted
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • Yellow food colouring (optional)

Filling

  • 300 g durian flesh
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour and cornstarch, then add in the sugar and whisk lightly.
  • Make a well in the centre of the mixture, then add in the water, butter, lightly beaten egg, and a few drops of food colouring. Whisk together till smooth.
  • Pour the batter through a sieve to remove any lumps, then let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes.
  • Using two forks, roughly shred up and mash the larger pieces of durian flesh.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Add the durian flesh into the cream and fold gently. Refrigerate it.
  • In a non-stick pan over medium heat, pour in about a cup of batter and quickly swirl it around to form a thin layer over the surface of the pan.
  • Let it cook for a minute, or until the edges of the crepe start to curl up, then flip to cook the other side. Repeat for the remaining batter, then let the crepes cool to room temperature.
  • To assemble, lay the crepe out on a flat surface, then place two tablespoons of filling in the centre. Fold up the four sides of the crepe, then flip the whole thing over to form a crepe pillow. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
