Persimmon pie is a winter dessert that sits between fruit pie and custard tart. Instead of chunks, this recipe uses smooth persimmon pulp, allowing the fruit’s honeyed depth to carry through the filling. A blind-baked butter crust provides structure, while careful temperature control keeps the custard silky, sliceable, and balanced rather than eggy or loose.
