- For a twist, add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for some added crunch.
- Serve the Persimmon Delight warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the persimmon puree before using it in the recipe.
- To make individual servings, pour the batter into ramekins and adjust the baking time accordingly.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or enjoy chilled.
