How to Make Persimmon Ice Cream

  1. Peel, seed, and chop 1 pound of ripe persimmons.
  2. Puree the chopped persimmons in a food processor or blender until completely smooth.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar to the persimmon puree.
  4. Blend until the mixture is thoroughly combined and smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip the 1 cup of heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the persimmon mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the cream.
  7. Taste the mixture and add more sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed, until you reach your desired sweetness.
  8. Pour the ice cream mixture into an airtight container and freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
  9. Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before scooping to allow for easier serving. Enjoy!
