Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup (140 g) raw cashews
  • 3-4 (500 g) peeled kakis weigh for best results
  • 4 oz (110 g) dark chocolate 70% cocoa
  • 4 tablespoons (30 g) cocoa powder
  • ½ cup (120 ml) milk

Instructions
 

  • Cashew bits in a beige ceramic bowl with water.
    Soak the cashews: Place cashews in a bowl with warm water for at least 2 hours, or overnight. If short on time, boil cashews in water for 20 minutes. Then, drain.
  • Persimmon cut into pieces i a grey ceramic bowl.
    Prep the persimmons: Cut off the tops and bottoms, peel, and chop into pieces. If possible, weigh them with a digital scale.
  • Melted dark chocolate in a large glass bowl.
    Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
  • Thick and shiny chocolate cream in a blender.
    Blend: In a small blender, combine persimmons, drained cashews, cocoa powder, and plant-based milk. Blend until completely smooth for 1-2 minutes.
  • Spatula combining melted chocolate and chocolate cream in a glass mixing bowl.
    Mix: Stir the persimmon mixture into the melted chocolate, using a spatula to fully incorporate.
  • Six ramekins filled with chocolate cream on a white marble board.
    Chill: Pour the mixture into small ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to eat it out the ramekins, or for 24 hours if you want to unmold it.
  • Hand unmolding a chocolate cream from a glass rammekin.
    Unmold (optional): Gently run a thin-bladed knife around the inside edge of the ramekin while turning it with your hand. Then pull the parfait slightly away from the sides to release any suction before inverting onto a plate and letting it slide out.
