Easy Persimmon Pie image

This persimmon pie has a similar texture to pumpkin pie, but features the sweet honey-like flavor of persimmons. Since ripe persimmons are so naturally sweet, this pie doesn't contain any added sugar.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 shortcrust pastry crust
1 ⅔ cups ripe persimmons, peeled and pureed
1 (14 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 eggs
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 pinches ground ginger
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a 9-inch pie plate with the pastry crust. Cover the crust with a sheet of parchment paper and fill with dried beans, lentils, or rice.
  • Blind bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and discard parchment paper and beans.
  • Whisk together persimmon puree, milk, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Pour the mixture into the crust.
  • Bake pie in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until a skewer inserted near the centre comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Serve cold.
