This persimmon pudding is rich and sweet, with a texture that’s perfectly cozy. Let’s gather our ingredients and get started on bringing this old-school recipe to life!
Ingredients
- 2 cups of ripe persimmons, mashed
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to make sure our pudding doesn’t stick.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed persimmons, sugar, milk, melted butter, and eggs. Mix ’em together until everything is well blended.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt. Once that’s ready, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until it’s all just combined. Don’t overmix, we want that pudding to be tender.
- If you’re feeling a little nutty, fold in the chopped nuts at this point for a little extra crunch.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top. Pop that beauty into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Once it’s done, let it cool a bit before serving. You can enjoy it warm or at room temp, and it’s scrumptious all on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
And there you have it! A classic Old Fashioned Persimmon Pudding that is sure to be a hit at any gathering. So go ahead, share it with your loved ones and make some sweet memories around the table. Happy cooking!
