Instructions

How to make the persimmon apple pudding?

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 10 inch spring form pan.
In a blender or food-processor, puree persimmon and apple along with milk, and add the puree to a large mixing bowl.
4 Persimmons, 2 Apples, 2 cups Milk
To this, add melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder, salt, and baking soda, and mix well using a hand-held blender.
¼ cup Butter, 1 cup Sugar, 2 Eggs, 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder, ½ teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Baking soda
Next, add baking powder and flour and mix until everything is combined.
2 teaspoon Baking powder, 2.5 cups All purpose flour
Transfer the batter to the pan, and then bake for 55 mins.
Remember, we are baking a pudding, so when you insert a knife to check if it is done it will be slightly sticky but cooked.
The pudding will rise when baked, but will fall when removed from the oven. This is normal. Set aside to cool.

For the Saffron Butter Sauce

In a pan on medium-low heat, add butter. Once the butter turns light golden-brown, add flour and mix continuously for 2-3 minutes or until you get a nutty aroma.
¼ cup Butter, 2 tablespoon All purpose flour
To this add cardamom powder, sugar, saffron strands, heavy cream and whisk continuously until the sauce simmers and starts to thicken.
½ to ¾ teaspoon Cardamom powder, 6 to 8 strands Saffron, ½ cup Sugar, 1 cup Heavy cream
Switch off the flame. Upon cooling, if the sauce is too thick, you may thin it down using more cream or milk.
Persimmon Apple Pudding With Saffron Butter Sauce is ready. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

To make this dessert unique, I have flavored butter sauce with cardamom and saffron. You can simply skip this and use vanilla extract.
Instead of butter sauce, you can even serve persimmon pudding with brandy sauce, apple sauce, whipped cream, or ice cream.
If there are any leftovers, wrap them in aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks. Reheat in the microwave just before serving. You can also freeze persimmon pudding for up to 3 months.
