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.

Mix Dough

Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Rub cold butter into the flour using fingertips until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold water gradually and bring the dough together gently. Avoid kneading, as this keeps the crust tender rather than tough.
