My cravings for durian struck again. I wanted to make durian puffs but decided to go easy and picked up a pack of spring roll skin instead. Indeed this recipe takes much less work than durian puffs. When you are short on time and feeling dessert, this is a go to recipe if you have the ingredients on hand. Creamy durian and cream cheese in crispy spring roll skin served with a scoop of coconut ice cream, yum 😋. You will do it again and again.
