Ripe persimmon is so soft and creamy that it turns into a pudding on its own, with no added sugar. Tahini adds richness and cocoa brings a chocolatey note. It looks great and has a lovely texture, but the sugar content is high, so it is not really a diet dessert.
Method
Put the persimmons in a bowl and remove any seeds.
Add the tahini and cocoa powder.
Stir well until smooth and pudding-like.
Spoon into a serving bowl and serve right away.
