Durian. One of the most polarizing fruits from southeast Asia. You either like it or you hate it. I personally love it. I remember walking through Asian markets with my mom and me begging her to get me one. The durian fruit has a spikey exterior and a soft yellow flesh on the interior. It has a strong pungent smell that stinks up the whole house but the taste is just amazing!!! One of my favorite ways to have durian is in smoothie form. I tested the recipe while at home in LA over Thanksgiving and am so excited to share it with you here! This durian smoothie recipe is incredibly simple and only a few ingredients. Durian, ice, condensed milk, and whole milk. I was first going to use sugar to sweeten the durian smoothie, but my mom said that you should use condensed milk instead. I didn’t really ask her why, but mom is always right lol. The resulting smoothie is smooth and slightly sweet. The milk and condensed milk tones down the durian fruit’s taste so it’s easier to consume. The raw fruit can be a tad bit intense for even me.
