I think I found my favorite cupcake. This recipe is heavenly delicious. The cupcake is so moist, not dense and heavy.

The typical cupcake, I will normally only have one but I cannot stop eating these.

Cream cheese goes so well with durian. It’s the creamy texture like ice cream and you can just enjoy by itself.I have been substituted peanut with pistachios in my recipe lately. It’s fun and adds a different flavor to my baking.

If you are a durian lover like me, you must try to bake it. It’s easy enough too.

You can get durian at almost all Asian markets. To make a puree, simply just blend it in the blender.
