If you’ve ever wondered why durian pudding is taking the dessert world by storm, the answer lies in one fruit: Musang King durian. Known as the “King of Fruits” across Southeast Asia, this variety is prized for its golden flesh, creamy texture, and bold bittersweet flavour. And now, London diners can experience this indulgence for themselves in the form of a silky, luxurious pudding.
Why Musang King Durian Makes the Best Pudding
Durian pudding has become popular because it combines the rich, custard-like texture of durian with a smooth, chilled cream base. The Musang King variety is particularly suited to pudding thanks to its:
Buttery texture that blends seamlessly into dessert creams.
Complex flavour with notes of caramel, almond, and slight bitterness.
Golden colour that gives puddings an inviting look.
This is why Musang King durian pudding is now considered a delicacy, loved by durian enthusiasts and new tasters alike.
