# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • The durians complex flavor gets beautifully tamed by sweet banana and rich coconut milk
  • It comes together in literally five minutes but tastes like something from a specialty smoothie shop
  • You can easily adjust the thickness and sweetness to match exactly what youre craving
02 -
  • Frozen durian chunks blend more easily than fresh and give you that frosty texture
  • If youve never had durian before, start with less and add more gradually
  • Lime juice completely changes the profile if you find durians natural taste too intense
03 -
  • Let frozen durian thaw for 5 minutes before blending for smoother results
  • If your blender struggles, add liquid first then gradually add frozen ingredients
