Talking about desserts is one of my favourite parts when it comes to food. It is because I have a sweet tooth. Do you have a sweet tooth? Well, the majority of you will say yes. Most of you enjoy sweets after meals. And I am one of them. You must be very clear by now that I am going to talk about a dessert recipe today. Let’s come to the recipe then. The recipe I am going to tell you is Persimmon Pudding.
Pudding must be very clear to you. But many of you must be wondering what persimmon is. Persimmon is a fruit, which looks like a tomato but is a berry. It has a slippery silk-like texture. It tastes creamy, tangy and sweet, all at the same time. Isn’t it an exciting fruit? I would love to eat this fruit. Make a pudding with this will surely be a great dessert.
Persimmon pudding is a traditional American dessert. It is baked in the oven or steamed. You can serve this dessert with whipped cream, ice cream, apple sauce and many other options. So let’s try this dessert to treat our taste buds. But before we jump onto the recipe, let’s check out some other desserts that you might like.
