Title: Durian Cheesecake
Categories: Fruit, Dairy, Cheese, Pastry
Yield: 8 Servings

340 g (12 oz) cream cheese; room
- temp
200 ml Condensed sweetened milk
4 tb Pureed durian
2 lg Eggs
120 ml (2 fl oz) soured cream
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 tb Durian or banana extract
1 (23cm/9") prepared digestive
- biscuit base

Set oven @ 1706C/340°F/Gas 3.

If not using tinned or frozen durian puree, cut into
husk of a durian fruit and remove one segment of the
pulpy inner flesh. Place in a bowl and use a fork to
mash the flesh, reserving 4 tablespoons to add to the
cheesecake mixture.

Beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the condensed
milk and continue beating until smooth. Beat in 4
tablespoons durian, eggs, soured cream, vanilla extract
and durian or banana extract. Spoon the mixture over the
prepared digestive biscuit base.

Bake 1 hour or until filling is set and edges are
lightly browned. Serve warm or chill overnight in the
refrigerator.

INGREDIENT NOTE: Durian, a large fruit from Southeast
Asia, has a dark green to brown husk studded with
prickly thorns concealing pale yellow to red flesh. Some
find durian's strong odor offensive, but the reward is
its creamy flesh with a nutty, slightly sweet taste.
