Ingredients

• 2 cups ripe persimmons (Hachiya or Fuyu, peeled and pureed)
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 cup slivered almonds (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the persimmon puree, granulated sugar, eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, sift together almond flour, ground cinnamon, salt, and baking powder.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula if needed.

Step 6

Sprinkle slivered almonds on top for extra texture and flavor, if desired.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the pudding cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Step 9

Serve as-is, or pair with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
