I just can't get enough of persimmons! They're such a delicious, juicy fruit and now that they're back in season I'm making the most of them :) This was the most incredible-tasting creation. The bananas give it creaminess and the persimmons a jelly-like texture for the perfect pudding texture! I used hachiya persimmons (the larger, longer ones, like the one at the top of the photo) which I think are sweeter than fuyu's (the smaller ones) and are better at the jelly-like stage of ripeness. You can tell they're good to eat when you can easily pull the tops of them off.
Ingredients
2 very ripe hachiya persimmons (or 4 fuyu's)
3 fresh bananas
4 frozen bananas
pinch of cinnamon
3 medjool dates, chopped
- scoop the flesh out of the persimmons into a bowl
- blend the fresh & frozen bananas together with the cinnamon to make a melty banana ice cream
- swirl the persimmon flesh into the bananas. Top with chopped dates. Devour!
