Instructions

Combine Ingredients: Place 1 cup (200 g) frozen durian pulp and 1 can (400 ml) full-fat coconut milk into a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth, creamy, and chunk-free.
Add Sweetener, Ice, and Flavor Boosters: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of sweetener, optional 0.5 cup (60 g) of ice cubes, and any desired optional flavor boosters like a pinch of sea salt, 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract, or 0.25 teaspoon lime zest. Blend until the ice crushes, making the smoothie chilled and frothy.
Adjust and Serve: Taste and adjust sweetness as desired. If the smoothie is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more coconut milk. Pour immediately into chilled glasses.

Notes

Use pre-portioned frozen durian pulp for speedy smoothies. Keep coconut milk chilled in the fridge for an extra frosty drink. For a lower-sugar option, reduce sweetener or use a natural sugar substitute like stevia. Lighter coconut milk or plant-based milks (almond, oat) can be used for reduced calories/fat or a different flavor profile. Ensure coconut milk is dairy-free and unfortified for strict vegan diets.
