Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 medium Spanish persimmons

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries

  • ½ cup pomegranate, seeds only, or more to taste

  • 1 ¼ cups heavy cream

  • 8 small plain meringue cookies, coarsely crushed

Directions

  1. Remove the leafy tops from the persimmons, slice the flesh, and add to a large bowl. Crush the raspberries lightly with a fork and add these to the bowl with the pomegranate seeds. Stir gently to combine.

  2. Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until firm peaks form. Fold in meringue and stir gently.

  3. Spoon some of the fruit mixture into 4 decorative glasses. Layer the cream and meringue mixture on top, alternating with the fruit mixture. Make sure you reserve a little fruit for the top, then serve.
