Green Bean With Durian Dessert

At first when I saw this dessert recipe from Zur's Kitchen I can't really imaging how it will taste like to mix Green Bean Soup with Durian. It is really very difficult to describe the taste with words, you had to give it a try yourself then you will know how heavenly it is when you give it a first taste. It had a mixture fragrant of the Gula Malaka, Durian and Green Bean. It can be either taken hot or cold. But to me, I prefer it just warm enough to the smooth your throat.


You doesn't need much ingredients for this dessert, but it will be good if you can used those better quality durian. For my case, I bought a small box of D24 Durian which consists of about 8-9 seeds. And it really infused the dessert with fantastic aroma. You can find original recipe at Zur's Blog. There is another dessert recipe using Durian, you can also take a look at Edith's Blog, it's call the Durian Pengat. The recipe I share over here is base according to my own taste bub so you can actually adjust according to your own liking.

Ingredients:
200g Green Bean, soak for at least 2 hrs
200ml Coconut Milk + 300ml Water
80g Gula Malaka
40g Sugar
1 Teaspoon Salt
Some Pandan Leaves
100ml Fresh Milk
1 Box Of Durian Flesh

Methods:
1. Boil the soaked bean with some pandan leaves till soft with water that is 1" above the beans.
2. When the bean is soft is should have at least water that is level of the boiled beans.
3. Add coconut milk mixture, all the sugar, salt, durian flesh and the remaining pandan leaves and let it simmer over medium heat till bubbles appear.
4. Once it's slightly boiled, add milk and simmer till slightly thicken.
5. You can either serve it warm or cold. If it is too thick you can dilute it with some extra milk or water.

Notes: The box of durian that I bought consists of 8-9 Seeds. Posted by Picasa
