Chocolate and persimmon: The two‑ingredient brownie revolution

Brownies are a dessert cherished by nearly everyone. After all, who doesn't enjoy chocolate? In this recipe, it's combined with persimmons, transforming into a cake as light as air. This dessert is notable for its simplicity and flavour, making it irresistible.

This is a true superfruit, full of vitamins and minerals. It's rich in vitamins A, C, and E, antioxidants, and fibre, making it a great addition to a healthy diet. Due to its high fibre content, persimmon aids digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels.

Ripe persimmons have an intense orange colour and soft flesh that resembles jelly or soft butter. The taste of persimmons is distinctive and difficult to compare to other fruits. It's sweet, slightly caramel-like, with a hint of honey.

Brownies in this version are certainly surprising. Persimmon lovers will detect a subtle hint, but chocolate still predominates, as it should in a brownie. Simply bake the fruit and add it to the chocolate. This will create a fluffy, no-bake dessert. The sweet taste of persimmons perfectly complements the dark chocolate. Say farewell to heavy, traditional brownies and discover a healthier alternative.

Ingredients:

• 2 persimmons,
• 200g of dark chocolate.

Preparation method:

Step 1. Place the persimmons in an ovenproof dish and put them in an oven preheated to 200 degrees Celsius. Bake for 12 minutes.

Step 3. Pour the resulting mixture into a small baking dish lined with parchment paper. Place in the refrigerator overnight.
