Pure XO Durian Agar Agar

Durian... one of my favorite fruit. Could never resist it.

Originally this is a topping for Durian Mousse Cake. My family doesn't seems to be enjoying the mousse cake and instead loved just the topping so I decided to be innovative and make a "cake" out of the topping instead.

Recipe:

Recipe adapted from: RG's Durian Mousse Cake

8” round pan

Serves: 8 - 10

Ingredients

12 grams Agar Agar Powder

1000 ml Water

250 grams Sugar (I used only 180 grams)

5 grams Gelatin (To ensure that the agar agar is firm enough when you unmould from the pan)

400 grams XO Durian Flesh, Blended (Use which ever Durian you fancy. Flesh must be solid and cannot be watery. 猫山王 recommended.)

Method:

1. Boil water, sugar, gelatin , agar agar powder and yellow coloring.

2. Pour 1/3 of the mixture into the wet pan and leave it in the freezer to set for 2 mins.

3. Spread the blended durian flesh over the agar agar and slowly pour half the remaining agar agar on top and leave it in the freezer to set for another 2 mins.

4. Pipe lattice-patterned or wordings durian flesh over agar agar and slowly pour the remaining agar agar on top and leave it to set in the chiller.

* Note: Do not spread the durian flesh to the edge of the agar agar. Leave about 2cm border so that the agar agar is able to hold the durian filling in place when unmould.
