I made this a few weeks ago in anticipation of the dwindling durian season.
I love to make icecream using homemade yogurt. I am not a fan of milk based icecream, especially the commercial ones. I find them way too cloying, even the premium brand ones. I much prefer yogurt based icecream, gelato, or better still, sorbet.
This durian icecream is super easy to make. You can say it's like a durian froyo because I made it with strained yogurt. It is egg-less, cream-less and stir-less :) I won't bluff you and say it has the perfect creamy texture; no it doesn't. But it is not icy rock hard either. Something like a harder version of commercial frozen yogurt. Just leave it in room temperature for about 15min to soften slightly before serving.
Easy Homemade Durian Icrecream
- 550g good quality durian flesh (I use XO)
- 200g greek yogurt (storebought or homemade)
- 2 tblspn cold milk
- 1 tblpn granulated sugar
1. Puree all the above and pour into a freezer proof container with a lid or wrap with clingwrap.
2. Freeze overnight. To serve, leave it in room temperature for 15min to soften slightly before scooping.
I would love this healthier version. The commercial ones are full of flavouring and additives... this is much better.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree, Mich :)
DeleteHi Esther! It doesn't have to be perfectly creamy... To me, anything durian is yum yum!!!
ReplyDeleteYay, another durian fan :)
DeleteThat's super easy! I have a box of D24 in my freezer, maybe I'll try this method.
ReplyDeletegreat, hope it works for you.
DeleteI made strawberry yogurt ice cream once before. It taste nice and healthy. I believe yours durian flavours must be yummy too!
ReplyDeleteHi Esther, strawberry froyo IS nice, so refreshing.
DeleteWhoa! Homemade durian ice cream sound good! I can eat a few tubs of this :)
ReplyDeletea few tubs? wow, PH, another big durian fan.
DeleteHi Esther! I am not a fan of durian but my husband is just nuts about it. This is a really nice healthy ice cream so I'll make some some for him. I'll probably have a taste, too.
ReplyDeleteHi Adora, the yogurt tempered the pungency of the durian ever so slightly, so you might be ok with this :) hope your hubby likes it.
DeleteHomemade ice cream always taste better. Homemade durian ice cream? Taste bestest!! (if there is such a word) hahaha
ReplyDeleteEsther, this ice cream looks so good and is so unusual. Please drop me a line on ca4ole@gmail.com if it is ok with you if I link to it on my blog, Carole's Chatter. Cheers
