Durian custard and sticky rice
Durian custard and sticky rice
Serves 4-6
My husband would wrinkle his nose at this dish. He probably would hold it and stick out his tongue at the same time because he hates durian. He thinks it smells like farts and puts it in the same basket of foods that people shouldn’t eat, along with bitter melon.
But if you’re like me (and possibly also a ’strange Asian’), durian is delicious. I like it as it is, chilled a little and straight from the husk. But I also like it in custard form on top of fragrant sticky rice.
The main purpose of this post is to remind me how to make this for next ime. It’s one of those dishes that mum makes and I had to ask for instructions. She always does things by feel and I wanted to record some measurements as I was doing it myself.
Ingredients
- 1 durian segment (about 1 cup)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1 T sugar
- 2 t corn flour
- 2 C glutinous (sticky) rice
- 2 C water
Bag of glutinous rice
Method
- Mash the durian and combine with the rest of the ingredients.
- Put the custard into a bowl.
- Fill a large pot with a few centimetres of water and bring to the boil. The water should come 1/2 of the way up the bowl.
- Lower the bowl into the water and cover the pot with its lid.
- Lower heat to medium-low and steam for 25-30 minutes until custard is set. You may need to top up with boiling water if you run low.
Cooked durian custard
- Serve with sticky rice. To cook sticky rice I used a rice cooker. I put 2 cups of washed rice with just under 2 cups of water.

Being half singaporean I am well exposed to durain and love the fresh fruit! I also love durian puff (like cream puffs, are you familiar with them?) and the custardy durian filling in them.

No I haven’t had durian puffs before. I’ll have to try some, and if I don’t like them at least it’ll be fun annoying the husband with the smell :p
