Thanks for the recipe! We made it and it turned out great! We had too much durian for us to finish, and thought it might keep better for longer, and without making everything in the fridge smell so much like durian if we made it into a baked thing. I was pleasantly surprised by this recipe with how much egg and durian it has (a whole half kilo!), and how little flour, cream cheese, gelatin etc. The end result was creamy and light. You can still definitely taste the durian, so I wouldn’t recommend it to absolute durian haters, but the pungency was toned down, and the taste is not as intensely custard/garlicy. I did end up cutting up the durian with kitchen scissors though, to shorten the fibers, apart from just mashing it. Some butter did seep out into the bain marie water, but I’m not sure if it made the crust any soggier. The crust could do with some prebaking, as it could have been crunchier. It would have been nice to have topping or decoration ideas included in the recipe.
