Ingredients
Method
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.
