Ingredients

• 2 cups Ripe persimmon pulp
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 2 Eggs, beaten
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Raisins (optional)
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or similar-sized pudding mold.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the persimmon pulp and granulated sugar. Mix well until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Gradually add this dry mixture into the persimmon mixture, stirring until no lumps remain.

Step 4

Add the melted butter, beaten eggs, milk, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir the batter until it's fully combined and smooth.

Step 5

If using, fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the pudding is firm in the center and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. It can be served warm or at room temperature.

Step 9

For extra decadence, top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream before serving.
