ingredients
directions
- If using frozen durian, thaw completely.
- Remove seeds and press flesh through a nylon sieve to eliminate the fine fibres.
- Heat milk and cream in a heavy enamel or other non-aluminium pan, stirring until almost boiling.
- Whisk egg yolks with sugar until light, stir in a ladleful of the hot milk mixture and return to saucepan.
- Stir over very low heat until custard thickens, taking care not to let it boil or it will curdle.
- Cool the custard and chill it well, then add a little at a time to the durian pulp, combining it thoroughly before adding more custard.
- This keeps the texture even.
- Freeze in a churn or in a shallow glass dish.
- If using still-freezing method, stir 2 or 3 times during freezing to enhance smoothness.
- Or, after it has frozen, break into pieces and purée in food processor until smooth but not melted.
- Return to freezer until firm.
- Press freezer wrap directly on surface of ice cream to prevent ice crystals forming.
- It is advisable to store durian ice cream in a freezer container with a well-fitting lid.

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving.
I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start.
Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog!
Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years!
I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
