Persimmon Bread Pudding

This persimmon bread pudding recipe is a great way to use up fresh soft hachiya persimmons. These grow quite well here in Southern California. They have a very soft, almost custard-like filling that can be eaten with a spoon, added to cookie dough, or served as a dessert on top of ice cream.

We especially to use fresh persimmon pulp in bread pudding. It’s perfect served as a fall dessert for Halloween or Thanksgiving.

Serve this delicious bread pudding with my Creme Anglaise or a nice heaping spoonful of freshly whipped cream. You can play around with the bread ingredients by using a French baguette, day-old donuts or brioche bread, torn into bite size pieces.
