Durian Mung Bean Paste Filling for Mooncake-Made with Real Durian Flesh

This Durian Mung Bean Paste is made with fresh durian flesh, no artificial flavoring is added. It is definitely more delicious than store-bought durian paste which is usually flavoured with artificial flavouring. Since durian flesh is sweet, not much sugar is added. This filling is suitable for traditional mooncakes, snow skin mooncakes, as well as pastry crust mooncakes. You may make this paste whenever you have excess durian flesh and freeze the paste for later use.

Yields: about 560 g
