Recipe: Very Easy Durian Pie (Vegan Friendly!)

March 17, 2012 Leave a Comment

I have always thought of pie as something that is difficult to make. Add durian to the equation and it sounds nearly impossible. That’s why I was so impressed when I came across this recipe for a durian pie using filo dough as the crust. 
I doubt this combination would ever have come about naturally. Filo dough originates in Greece, about 6,500 miles (10,000 km) from the nearest durian. Even Alexander the Great didn’t make it that far! That’s in part why I was so surprised to discover that blogger Rita, the mastermind behind this lazy man’s pie, is from Hong Kong. They sell filo dough in Hong Kong? I never knew!

For all of you who don’t cook much (like me), brulee means “burnt cream.”
 

Ingredients:
Recipe from http://mochachocolatarita.blogspot.com

  • 1 package filo dough
  • Oil or butter
  • Enough durian to completely fill the pie dish
  • Sugar to taste

Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Lightly grease a baking dish, lay a couple layers of filo pastry sheets, brushing in between with oil or butter,
tuck them in as you would do pastry base for a pie. Then simply add
durian flesh to fill the pastry “bowl”. You can mix in more sugar if you would like a sweeter pie. Top it with a thin layer of sugar to get the “bruleed” effect. Don’t forget to brush the top layer of filo pastry with some oil/butter to make it gloriously golden.

Bake
for about 25 minutes in the middle rack, and move it to the top rack,
bake for a few more minutes until you get the bruleed effect.
