FAQs
Can I use a different type of persimmon?
Fuyu persimmons work best since they are firm and sweet, but you can try hachiya persimmons only when fully ripe and soft. Be sure to remove seeds if present.
What if I don’t have pumpkin pie spice?
You can substitute with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of ground cloves or ginger to achieve a similar warm spice flavor.
