Share:
Ingredients
- 3 whole persimmons ripe
- 250 grams ricotta 1 cup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons icing sugar powdered/confectioner's sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 4 honey roasted pecans crushed (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dry 3 whole persimmons, slice each one in half, scoop the pulp out into a bowl and discard the skin. Blend the pulp till it is smooth, stir in 1 teaspoon orange zest and set aside.
- In a separate medium sized bowl whip together 250 grams ricotta, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 2 tablespoons icing sugar till smooth.
- In a serving glass spoon the ricotta cream to form a bottom layer then cover with a layer of the puréed persimmon. Do the same for the other 3 glasses. Chill for one hour before serving. Garnish with crushed 4 honey roasted pecans before serving.
Notes
- Select either the hachiya or fuyu variety of persimmon for this recipe. Either variety will work for this dessert. Ripe hachiya is jelly-like in texture and easy to scoop out. Fuyu can either be blended to a purée or wait till the fruit is very soft and easy to scoop out.
- Select ripe persimmons, if they are soft remove the stem and scoop out the pulp. If they are firm, slice in half and scoop out the pulp.
- If you don't have ricotta, you could use mascarpone but this will be more dense.
- Chill for at least one hour before serving.
- Garnish before serving. Do not garnish before chilling as the nuts will become soft in the fridge.
- Best eaten on the same day,
- Cover and store leftovers in the fridge and consume with 2 days.
