In my opinion the quintessential Christmas dessert is a warm piece of persimmon pudding with whipped cream after dinner. And if I’m being completely honest I usually have a square cold, for breakfast too. It’s just that good. Persimmon pudding is the ultimate mashup of warming pumpkin pie spices and a sticky sweet, brownie-like texture. Although they are most popular in Asia where they are eaten fresh or dried (think of a really big dried apricot), they have been getting more attention in America.

Wine Pairing

Try pairing this pudding with a glass of Ice Wine. Ice wine itself is very sweet and will pair well with the spicy notes of the cinnamon and nutmeg.
