Durian with Sticky Rice (Pulut Durian)

When I was small, my mom would make durian with sticky rice which is a delicacy on its own whenever the durian season arrived. Durian is well known as 'the king of the fruits' and is the fruit of controversy in terms of its aroma. Some might detest the pungent smell from the durian and some simply love it. Durian can be eaten on its own or can be turned into sweet desserts like ice cream and caramel, also into condiments like tempoyak (flesh of durian mixed with pounded chillies and salt) or can be cooked with fish and prawns with loose thin broth, eaten with rice. When eating durian with sticky rice, you can either cook the flesh with sugar and coconut milk or eating them fresh. My recipe is the latter.

Ingredients
3 cups of sticky rice, cooked or steamed until tender
8-12 flesh of durians
sugar, to taste
6 cups of thick coconut milk, or to taste
