- 1 tbsp icing sugar
- 30g all-purpose flour
- 150ml water

Steps
Separate the durian flesh from the seed and use a fork to mash the flesh into a thick paste. Set aside.
Add whipping cream to a bowl. Use a mixer to whip mixture till it stiffens . Set aside.
Add to a bowl tapioca flour, custard powder, icing sugar, all-purpose flour and mix well. Add water to the bowl and mix well, forming a pale yellow batter.
Add milk and egg to the batter, stirring well in between.
Strain the mixture through a metal sieve to remove any sediments.
Glaze a pan with oil and add a thin layer of batter to the pan. Gently remove the crepe once it solidifies.
It’s time to assemble your durian crepe. Add a spoonful each of whipped cream and durian paste to the centre of the crepe and fold in the corners to form a “pillow”, and you are done. Repeat the steps until you form all your durian crepes.
