Pandan Durian Cream Roll Cake
Description
This recipe begins with preparing a Swiss roll cake batter enhanced with pandan extract, which imparts a vibrant green hue and a subtle, fragrant flavor. After baking and slight cooling, the cake is flipped so the browned side is on top to aid rolling without cracking. The cream filling consists of cold heavy cream whipped with powdered sugar into soft peaks, then gently folded with freeze-dried durian powder ground finely to incorporate the fruit's distinctive sweet and custardy notes without the moisture content of fresh durian.
The durian cream is evenly spread over the pandan cake surface before carefully rolling the cake into a log form using parchment paper as a guide. The roll is then wrapped and chilled for 4-6 hours to allow the cream to set, resulting in a stable cake that slices neatly revealing spiral layers of green cake and pale cream. The flavor is a balance between the bright aromatic pandan and the rich tropical durian.
This roll cake can be served as an elegant dessert featuring uncommon tropical ingredients. Fresh garnishes or additional decoration can be added after chilling according to preference.
Ingredients

Instructions
For the cake:

- Whip with a whisk until it reaches soft peaks.
- Add the freeze-dried durian pieces to a spice grinder and grind until it becomes a fine powder.
- Dump in the durian powder and whip with the whisk a few times to incorporate the durian into the cream.
Assemble:
- With the cake slightly cooled (not completely cool), flip the pandan cake so that the browned side is facing the top.

- Gently roll the cake up, using the parchment paper as a guide.
