Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 persimmons washed well, with or without skin, chopped
  • 4 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

  • In a blender, combine the persimmons and cocoa powder until a smooth pudding is formed. This will start to gel quickly, so you want to move fast. 
  • Get out four ramekins, and transfer the pudding to the containers. Place in the fridge for minimum 45 minutes. 
  • When ready to eat, dump the containers onto a plate. You can use a very thin knife to loosen the sides of the pudding if needed. It will come out in one block.
  • I like to dust with additional cocoa powder, or icing sugar, as desired. 

Notes

  • Make sure to use ripe fruit. It gets super soft, sweet, and practically jelly-like inside.
  • You can add additional notes of flavor by using extract. Orange essence and vanilla extract go great with chocolate, or you can add peppermint if you like that flavor combination.
  • Get creative with the toppings. From cocoa powder and icing sugar, to shaved chocolate, coconut whipped cream, or frozen berries - there is a lot to choose from!
  • If you don't have a ramekin set, you can use silicone molds, small bowls or shallow cups.
