For caffeinated latte
Process
- Cut the persimmon in half, then remove the peel. If the skin doesn't peel off easily, use a grapefruit spoon or a regular spoon to scoop out the flesh from the skin. Remove seeds, if any, and cut into chunks.
- Add the persimmon chunks, almond milk, and cinnamon to a high-powered blender, and blend until smooth. You can also add coffee or espresso here if you are making it caffeinated.
- Taste then add maple syrup, if needed.
- For hot latte: Pour into a small saucepan and heat over medium low heat for 5 minutes while stirring often, making sure the mixture doesn't come to a boil. If it does, lower the heat more. Pour the mixture in to a mug or a glass.
- For iced latte: No need to heat up the blended mixture. Fill a glass with ice, then pour into the glass.
- Top with frothed milk, whipped coconut cream, and/or cinnamon before serving.
Notes
I highly recommend using hachiya persimmon (longer in shape) since they are much softer for blending. However, fuyu persimmon will work in a pinch and they may be easier to find. Use a high-powered blender to break them down completely. // You can use any dairy-free milk you have on hand. Cashew milk will also work beautifully. If you are making an AIP latte or if you are nut-free, use coconut milk instead.// To froth milk, you can heat it up gently over medium low to low heat on the stovetop. Use a frothing wand to froth. If you want to make it real easy, just add milk to an electric frother and let it do the job. // While this yummy persimmon latte is caffeine free, you can definitely make this recipe with coffee or espresso if you want! When blending the persimmon and milk together, simply add 1/4 cup of strongly brewed coffee or 2 shots of espresso. Warm up on the stove together for a hot latte, or pour over ice if you want to enjoy it cold.
