Receta Durian Ice Cream Roll
Is Durian season now, you can see the "King of the Fruits" (here) everywhere. It might not be for everyone but for durian lovers, it is without a doubt a sinful indulgence. Of course I love this spiky fruit too and have been eating durian for the past few days and luckily I didn't get sore throat as durian is a heaty fruit. To match the theme Aspiring Bakers #9 - Swiss Rolling Good Times (July 2011) hosted by Obsessedly Involved with Food, I made Durian Ice Cream Roll! Here you are, please enjoy this cool dessert if you are a durian lover :)
Prepare Durian Ice Cream
2 Triangle moulds (line with plastic sheet)
300g Fresh durian, mash with a spoon or fork
1.5L Durian ice cream (Magnolia brand)
200g Fresh topping cream
6 Gelatin leaf (optional)
Take out ice cream from freezer and leave at room temperature (about 5 mins) before you start to whip the fresh cream.
Soak gelatin leaf in cold water about 30 seconds, allowing it to soften. Remove from water and gently squeeze well. Under double boiler, allow the gelatin to melt and stir well. Once it melted, remove from heat, cool down melted gelatin to a little warm. Whisk fresh cream and add gelatin into it. Whisk fresh cream till very stiff.
Add durian ice cream into it, mix at medium speed for about 30 seconds then add mashed durian fold well with a hand a rubber spatula.
Pour the durian ice cream into prepared mould. Then wrap it up with the plastic sheet and put in freezer for several hours or till next day.
Kitchen note: You can omit the gelatin if preferred as the gelatin will get lumpy if it is not handled properly.

Take out about 150ml mixture into a small bowl, add 2-3 tsp chocolate paste and mix well and pour chocolate mixture into a piping bag.
Pour plain mixture into a 12 x 12 inch baking tray. Level the surface, pipe chocolate line over it and use a skewer and drag line or create your own pattern.
Gently knock the tray on table top to remove air bubbles trapped in the batter.
Bake at 170C for 15 minutes.
