As I have mentioned before the area of Central Illinos in which I live
is known as "Tornado Alley" I've been around many of them. And the end result looks like pixtures I've seen of war zones.
I remember when I lived in Carbondale in an old rundown trailer and
there was a tornado warning. It terrified my and my then-wife.
I was a little concerned the last time we had tornadoes hit here. They criss-crossed town. I was living in a red-neck ranch at the time and
trailer courts are well known trailer magnets. Didn't drop a twig off
any of the trees where I had my home.
I was at work at the time the first one hit and the fron t windows were
bowing in and out - so we all stayed well back from them. That storm
picked up car batteries from the Mr. Battery location and durians in the
husk from the Asian Foods store next door and deposited them over a mile
away (for some). I dunno which would have been worse - getting hit with
a Group 78 battery or the lethally spiky durian. Oy, vey ist mir!

Title: Durian Cheesecake
Categories: Fruit, Dairy, Cheese, Pastry
Yield: 8 Servings
340 g (12 oz) cream cheese; room
- temp
200 ml Condensed sweetened milk
4 tb Pureed durian
2 lg Eggs
120 ml (2 fl oz) soured cream
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 tb Durian or banana extract
1 (23cm/9") prepared digestive
- biscuit base
Set oven @ 1706C/340°F/Gas 3.
If not using tinned or frozen durian puree, cut into
husk of a durian fruit and remove one segment of the
pulpy inner flesh. Place in a bowl and use a fork to
mash the flesh, reserving 4 tablespoons to add to the
cheesecake mixture.
Beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the condensed
milk and continue beating until smooth. Beat in 4
tablespoons durian, eggs, soured cream, vanilla extract
and durian or banana extract. Spoon the mixture over the
prepared digestive biscuit base.
Bake 1 hour or until filling is set and edges are
lightly browned. Serve warm or chill overnight in the
refrigerator.
INGREDIENT NOTE: Durian, a large fruit from Southeast
Asia, has a dark green to brown husk studded with
prickly thorns concealing pale yellow to red flesh. Some
find durian's strong odor offensive, but the reward is
its creamy flesh with a nutty, slightly sweet taste.
