Did you ever have one of those neighbors that grew too much of something and just knew they needed to give it all to you?? My MIL's neighbor has a persimmon tree. When presented with a plethora of persimmons she decided to make this, and after having some I borrowed some persimmons to make my own. I found the flavor and texture to be somewhat close to pumpkin pie. It was wonderful warm and tasted nothing of persimmon.

I don't care for the persimmon fruit, but wanted to cook something for my mother-in-law who loved persimmons. This recipe was just what I needed. This pudding recipe is excellent.

Wow! Tastes kind of like blondies. I'm not a huge fan of persimmons, but an acquaintance insisted i take 4 (unripe ones) from her organic tree. I waited and waited, and they're still not completely soft, but I made this pudding/cake anyway. Totally delicious, and you'd never know there were persimmons in there. My husband, also not a persimmon fan, describes it as "too good". Next time I might add a little vanilla.

This was very yummy! The persimmon by itself was terribly bitter but in this recipe it was absolutely delicious!

I've never tasted persimmons until this week when we got 3 in our weekly organic box. We ate one on it's own, and liked it, but needed a way to use the other two. I tried this recipe to do just that. The pudding was ok, but a little too sweet for my liking. I think next time I'll see what happens if I halve the sugar. I will try it again though. Thanks Rhonda O!

This is wonderful! Have been wondering what to do with two trees full of persimmons, and have found the perfect solution. At least part of the solution. This recipe will stay in the favorites section of my cookbook.

mm not bad at all.. I got some people (who didn't know it had persimmons in it) to actually eat it when they normally don't like them. Thanks!

Greetings from Portugal. I have a persimmon tree in my front yard along with other fruit trees. I never knew you could make pudding out of them, this is a great receipe it worked out really good for me. For those who do not know, persimmons have to be eaten when really ripe,or they won't taste very good they will taste very dry if not fully ripe! Thank you Rhonda for sharing this receipe.
