MYSTERY LADY'S PERSIMMON PUDDING

Mystery Lady's Persimmon Pudding image

The name is pudding, but the texture is more like an extremely moist cake. This recipe IS the holiday season to me. My grandmother makes it every Thanksgiving and Christmas. She used to make it the hard way, but learned a trick in the grocery line one year. A lady had several spice cake mixes and Grandma asked what she was making - she said persimmon pudding. Grandma got the recipe and never looked back. :-) I can't tell you how many people I've had say "eww, persimmon pudding?" only to beg for another piece!

MYSTERY PUDDING

Mystery Pudding image

When I was small our money was tight. Mom usually had a can of fruit cocktail and all things needed for this on hand. It was a sweet treat. It's more of a cake than a pudding. I still make it when craving an easy sweet.

Tips:

Prepare the pudding in advance: This dessert can be made up to 3 days in advance, making it a great option for busy hosts or those who want to enjoy a delicious dessert without the last-minute hassle.

Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your pudding will taste. Use real butter, fresh eggs, and high-quality chocolate for the best results.

Don't overcook the pudding: The pudding is done when it has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Overcooking the pudding will make it tough and rubbery.

Chill the pudding before serving: This will help the pudding to set and develop its full flavor. Chill the pudding for at least 2 hours before serving.

Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings: Whipped cream, chocolate chips, and fresh berries are all delicious options.
