Persimmon and Cocoa Pudding

Persimmon and cocoa pudding is a dessert made with just two ingredients that will surprise you with its unmistakable taste. At this time, the first ripe persimmons are starting to appear, harvested directly from the tree, and I thought of making this pudding using them and adding cocoa. With these two simple ingredients, you get a delicious pudding that you can flavor with rum or spices; for instance, I used ground cinnamon. You can enrich the pudding with a cocoa cream and garnish with grated coconut and nuts.
