Ingredients
Persimmon Pastry:
- 2 ripe persimmons
- 1 heet puff pastry , defrosted
- 2 ounces cream cheese , softened
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 1/2 tablespoons turbinado sugar , divided
Maple Icing:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- vanilla bean ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla extract and apple pie spice. Set aside.
- Cut off the tops (stems) of persimmons and thinly slice vertically. Slices should be about 1/8 of an inch thick. Colorful skins can stay on.
- Roll out puff pastry directly onto parchment paper and gently pull ends to make a rustic circle or square. Fold up edges to form a rim. This doesn't need to be perfect. Spread the cream cheese mixture in the center of the pastry.
- Arrange the persimmon slices over the cream cheese mixture.
- Baste the pastry edges and top of the persimmons lightly with cream. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the turbinado sugar over the pastry and persimmon slices.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until edges of pastry are lightly browned. It might be a little puffy, this is fine.
- Remove and allow to cool before making and drizzling with icing.
