Durian Fruit - The Most Noxious Fruit For Cake!

We've been wanting to try some Durian fruit since being inspired by http://durianrider.com/ and all things cycling. It seemed impossible to buy since it's banned from airplanes as the gas emitted from the fruit sets off the alarms and interferes with the electronics of the plane.

Alas, our local Chinese Supermarket had some frozen. All excitement waned as the whiff of the fruit was almost unbearable, however, given its nutritional value http://www.nutrition-and-you.com/durian-fruit.html and inspired by my friend Anna Breuer, I decided to persevere and offer a cake tasting competition for the brave foodies at heart.

I concocted a Raw Vegan Durian Tray to tempt the daring

Raw Vegan Durian Tray

Here's the recipe:
2 Bananas
2 Hand Fulls of Pineapple
1 Apple
200g Durian Fruit
2 Hand Fulls of Dates
Poppyseeds
Seaweed
200g Oats

Method:
Mix all ingredients except the oats into a mixer, I use a Vitamix https://www.vitamix.co.uk/, once blended, mix in a bowl with the oats, place into a flat dish and chill for 20 minutes.
