Ingredients

Pancake Batter

  • 240 ml whole milk 1 cup
  • 48 g all-purpose flour 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon
  • 30 g cornstarch 1/4 cup
  • 25 g granulated sugar 2 tablespoons
  • 3 large eggs
  • 15 g unsalted butter 1 tablespoon
  • 1 –2 drops green food coloring
  • Vegetable oil for greasing

Filling

  • 600 ml heavy cream 2 1/2 cups
  • 150 g granulated sugar 3/4 cup
  • 3 –4 fresh or frozen durian pods

Instructions

Pancake Batter

  • In a blender, combine the whole milk, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, granulated sugar, eggs, unsalted butter, and a drop or two of green food coloring. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and silky.
  • Strain the batter through a fine-mesh sieve to eliminate any lumps and let it rest briefly. Lightly grease a medium-sized non-stick frying pan (about 9.5 inches or 24 cm) with vegetable oil and warm it over low heat.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, tilting it gently to ensure the batter spreads evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the surface appears dry and matte. Carefully lift the pancake from the pan without flipping it. Transfer the cooked pancake to a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining batter until all pancakes are made and allow them to cool completely.

Filling

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Whip on medium-high speed until the mixture reaches stiff peaks, forming a rich, firm whipped cream.

Assembly

  • Remove the seeds from the durian pods and divide the flesh into 12 equal portions.
  • Place one cooled pancake onto your work surface, smooth side facing downward. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the whipped cream into the center of the pancake, spreading slightly.
  • Nestle a portion of durian on top of the whipped cream and add an additional dollop of cream over the durian to cover it.
  • Fold the two sides of the pancake inward, then carefully roll it up from the bottom, forming a neat, pillow-shaped parcel.
  • Arrange the assembled pancakes in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least one hour to set. Serve chilled and enjoy each creamy, tropical bite.
