Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 large Hachiya persimmons frozen whole
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • generous pinch kosher salt

Instructions

  • Take the persimmons out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes for easier peeling and chopping.
  • Hold a persimmon in a clean towel and peel it with a swivel peeler. Repeat with the second persimmon.
  • Chop the persimmons in half lengthwise and then slice off the leafy area on the top of each piece. Coarsely chop the halves and place them in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment.
  • Add remaining ingredients and process until smooth, stopping as needed to break up any large pieces that cling together.
  • Transfer the ice cream to bowls and serve immediately.
