Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Hachiya persimmons (ripe pulp)
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 9-inch Pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the pie crust by rolling it out and fitting it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges, if desired, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until evenly combined.
Add the persimmon pulp to the bowl and mix well.
In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then add the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
Pour the egg and cream mixture into the persimmon mixture, stirring until smooth and fully incorporated.
Stir in the melted butter to bring the filling together.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack, about 2-3 hours.
Serve the pie at room temperature or slightly chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream.
