How to Make Persimmon Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Position a rack in the center.
  2. Grease four 6-ounce individual souffle dishes. Place them in a shallow baking pan large enough to hold them.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  4. In a separate 1-quart bowl, combine 1 ½ cups persimmon pulp (about 3 medium persimmons), 1 large egg, 2 large egg yolks, ½ cup heavy cream, and ½ cup milk. Whisk until completely smooth.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared souffle dishes.
  7. Sprinkle ¼ cup chopped pecans evenly over the top of each pudding.
  8. Carefully pour boiling water into the baking pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the souffle dishes.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out moist but not wet. The pudding should have risen and cracked slightly on the surface.
  10. Remove the baking pan from the oven and carefully transfer the souffle dishes to a wire rack using a spatula. Allow to cool completely (at least 1 hour) before serving.
  11. Serve warm with slightly sweetened cinnamon-flavored whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
