Why Durian Desserts?
Durian is a source of national pride for Malaysians. Its distinct, potent aroma and rich, custardy texture are the heart of countless culinary creations. The durian’s strong, versatile flavor adds a natural richness and a unique tropical twist, turning a simple dessert into an unforgettable, luxurious experience.
To preserve the true essence of durian, Top Fruits uses cutting-edge freezing technology. Our advanced methods lock in the full flavor and powerful aroma, a commitment that means you can savor the authentic taste of the king of fruits all year long.
1. Durian Cheesecake
Durian and cheesecake are a match made in dessert heaven. The durian adds a luscious, custard-like sweetness that perfectly balances the tangy cream cheese, transforming a classic dessert into a tropical luxury.
Experience the smooth velvety and tangy texture of the cheese, complemented by the sweet richness of the durian. Each bite is a harmonious blend of flavors, with the durian’s custard-like consistency making the dessert even more decadent.
This combination changed the character of the cheesecake, creating a more complex yet familiar and erotic overall profile. The result: an excellent entry-level dessert for those new to durian, as the cheese mellows out the fruit’s intensity.
You can create this masterpiece at home using Top Fruits’ Durian Paste. For those who prefer to buy it ready-made, our Top Fruits Durian Cheesecake is the perfect choice for celebrations and gifting.
2. Durian Swiss Roll
A durian swiss roll takes the nostalgic sponge cake and fills it with a tropical, custardy core, giving each bite a delightful surprise.
Enveloped in a light, fluffy sponge cake rolled with a generous layer of rich durian cream, a simple traditional Swiss roll transforms into a more richer, exciting dessert. The durian cream provides a satisfying and indulgent center, making it a nostalgic yet modern dessert that appeals to all ages.
3. Durian Mooncake
Mid-Autumn Festival is a celebration of family, community, and tradition, marked by the soft glow of lanterns and the sharing of mooncakes under a luminous full moon.
While traditional mooncakes with lotus or red bean fillings remain a staple, a new, exciting option has captured the hearts (and taste buds) of many: durian mooncakes.
The creamy, custardy durian creates a velvety, exotic center that transforms each mooncake into an unforgettable culinary experience, offering a delightful twist on this cherished classic and a modern flair to this traditional delicacy.
It is a perfect way to celebrate the festival with a Malaysian-inspired treat!
4. Durian Mochi
When you think of mochi, you probably picture classic flavors like sweet strawberry, earthy matcha, or rich chocolate. These are the familiar, comforting bites we all love.
But then there’s durian mochi – a bold and harmonious fusion of two very different worlds. The soft, chewy glutinous rice dough perfectly encases a rich, creamy durian filling, transforming the “King of Fruits” into a surprisingly delightful and portable dessert.
The popularity of durian mochi has exploded in Malaysia, becoming a true local sensation. Even major brands like KFC Malaysia have embraced its widespread appeal, cementing its place as an iconic Malaysian dessert.
For all the bakers out there, why not try making your own Durian Mochi with our easy recipe?
If you’d rather skip the mess and get straight to the good stuff, don’t worry. Our ready-made durian mochi is here to satisfy your cravings instantly. It’s the same soft, chewy, and creamy delight, ready for you to enjoy without any of the work.
5. Durian Gelato
Durian gelato is the ultimate dessert for a hot afternoon. The creamy fruit harmonises with the gelato’s dense base, creating a refreshing yet indulgent scoop that cools and excites at once.
Gelato is known for its dense and creamy texture, and when combined with durian, it becomes a truly luxurious treat. The durian’s bold flavor is preserved while the gelato’s texture makes it a smooth and refreshing experience.
Unlike regular ice cream, gelato contains less air, resulting in a richer, more concentrated flavor. This enhances the durian taste without overpowering it. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy the fruit in a cooling format.
Made with our premium durian puree, our Durian Gelato is a must-try. You can also use our Durian Paste to create your own durian gelato at home.

FAQ
What makes durian desserts different from fresh durian?
Fresh durian offers a singular, intense experience but durian desserts present a more balanced and nuanced flavor! In these creations, the durian is skillfully blended with other ingredients—like creamy coconut milk, rich chocolate, or sweet glutinous rice.
This process softens its potent intensity and transforms the fruit into a harmonious and multi-layered culinary delight, offering a new way to enjoy the “King of Fruits.”
How long can frozen durian products last, and do they keep the same flavor?
Top Fruits’ frozen durian products are designed for long-lasting enjoyment. Our advanced freezing technology quickly locks in the fruit’s natural goodness, preserving the creamy texture and authentic, rich flavor.
This means our products can be stored in your freezer for several months without losing their delicious taste. So, whether you’re craving a small bite or a full dessert, you can savor the true essence of durian anytime the mood strikes.
Which durian dessert is best for first-timers?
For anyone new to durian, we highly recommend starting with Durian Cheesecake or Durian Gelato! These desserts are perfect for introducing the flavor in a gentle, delicious way.
The creamy texture and sweetness of the other ingredients balance the durian’s intensity, creating a more approachable and enjoyable experience that will help you fall in love with the king of fruits.
Are Top Fruits’ durian products export-ready?
Yes, our products are processed in facilities that adhere to international food safety standards, making them suitable for export. This ensures that every item, from our frozen durian paste to our ready-to-eat desserts, meets all the requirements for export, allowing us to share the authentic taste of Malaysian durian with the world.
Are durian desserts less intense than eating fresh durian?
Generally, yes. The intensity of fresh durian can be quite strong. In desserts, the flavor is often balanced with other ingredients like cream cheese, sugar, or sponge cake, resulting in a more harmonious and less overpowering taste.
