Persimmon "Shake" with Berry Sorbet

Hello! Have you had a good week so far? I have been powering through work, bumped into friends and cooked - mainly, and then I finished readin the second book in "The Dresden Files" called Fool Moon. Are you reading anything at the moment?


Today I wanted to share a weird and wonderful recipe with you, it's like mousse, but not quite, like smoothie, except not. All I know is that I thought this was a great way of using up the last persimmon fruit I had, and the blackberry sorbet on top added a bit of refreshing berry-ness which I thought went really well with it. You can substitute blackberries for raspberries if you want, or also freeze the diced persimmon before blitzing it for a double-bill sorbet!

Persimmon "Shake" with Berry Sorbet
(Serves 1, easily doubled)


1 persimmon/sharon fruit, diced (optionally frozen)
50g blackberries or raspberries, frozen
1 tbsp xylithol, agave syrup, maple syrup or brown sugar
Juice of 1/3 lime or 1/4 lemon

- Start by blending the persimmon fruit until you have a nice, smooth pureê, pour into a serving glass or bowl.

- Now, blitz the berries, sweetner and citrus juice until you have a sorbet, it doesn't have to be super smooth, I like when it has a bit of a texture.

- Top the persimmon with the berry mixture, and enjoy!

Do you have any good recipes that calls for persimmon fruit?

    1. Aww thanks! Winter berries are delicious, I was surprised how these two complimented each other despite being so different :) But then again sometimes that's the best way ^ ^

  2. I have been reading SO many books during the holidays, but maybe I will try that series. I am currently reading "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell, but I think I will finish pretty soon.
    This looks freaking delicious!! One of the first recipes on my blog called for persimmons!
