Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe persimmons
- 8 cups (cubed) day-old bread
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon (for greasing) butter
- optional (for garnish) powdered sugar
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of your crock pot with 1 tablespoon of butter to prevent sticking.
Peel and deseed the persimmons, then puree the flesh in a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the persimmon puree until fully incorporated.
Add the cubed bread to the mixture and gently toss until every piece is coated in the custard. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
Transfer the soaked bread mixture into the prepared crock pot, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low heat for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the bread pudding is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once done, turn off the crock pot and let the bread pudding cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally garnished with powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream.
