This was very good! I made it low fat by using milk, and used 1.3 cups to increase the persimmon flavor, which was quite mild. I also added an extra 3 tablespoons of corn syrup, this might depend on how sweet your fruit is. Best eaten the first day, as it froze up pretty hard by the following day. Thanks for the creative use of persimmons, which we love!
