Ingredients

• 2 cups (pureed) ripe persimmons
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup (packed) brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cup (melted) unsalted butter
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup whipped cream or ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash and remove any stems or seeds from the persimmons, then puree them using a blender or food processor until smooth. Measure out 2 cups of persimmon puree.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pureed persimmons, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the bowl, one at a time, and beat until fully incorporated. Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the pudding cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
