I've circled persimmons with a wary eye. Never have tasted one. Wondered what you do with it: pie, cake, crisp?
I found a recipe that had the hallmark ingredients of a baked cake, but it's a pudding. Four eggs, 2-1/2 cups of persimmon puree, white and brown sugars, lots of spices, roasted pecans.
I made and baked it last night and it was cooling when I retired.
I just tried a square. YUMMMMMM!!!
I still have to make the complementary cinnamon whipped cream, but the pudding can stand alone.

I found a recipe for green beans with persimmon, in the most recent Costco magazine, but your recipe sounds more appealing. Could you please share the complete recipe, or a link to it?
