Ingredients

• 2 cups Hachiya persimmons (ripe pulp)
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 9-inch Pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare the pie crust by rolling it out and fitting it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges, if desired, and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 4

Add the persimmon pulp to the bowl and mix well.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then add the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the egg and cream mixture into the persimmon mixture, stirring until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 7

Stir in the melted butter to bring the filling together.

Step 8

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack, about 2-3 hours.

Step 11

Serve the pie at room temperature or slightly chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream.
