Instructions
Step 1
*Melt* the dark chocolate and butter together gently until smooth. Once fully melted, allow the mixture to *cool down* to room temperature.
This will ensure a smooth texture for your brownies.
Step 2
*Combine* the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl. Sift these dry ingredients together to remove any lumps and ensure an even mixture.
Step 3
Grate the ripe persimmons using a coarse grater. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated persimmons with chopped walnuts and eggs. *Mix* until well combined.
Step 4
Gently pour the cooled chocolate and butter mixture into the persimmon mixture. Gradually add the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until you have a smooth batter with *all ingredients fully incorporated*.
Step 5
Line a 15x25 cm (6x10 inch) baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for *50 to 55 minutes*, or until the edges are firm and the center is just set.
Step 6
Allow the brownies to *cool completely* before cutting. Dust with cocoa powder before slicing into pieces for serving.
Enjoy your delightful chocolate persimmon brownies!
Servings
Nothing beats the joy of sharing a delightful homemade dessert. These Chocolate Persimmon Brownies are perfect for almost any setting! Whether it's a cozy family dinner or a lavish party, serve them up and watch smiles appear. Cut individual squares and dust a generous amount of cocoa powder on top before plating for an extra chocolatey punch.
Want to elevate your brownie game? 🍨 Try serving them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, allowing the flavors to melt into a gooey delight. Add a sprinkle of sea salt on the ice cream for a sweet and salty combination that will tantalize your taste buds.
If you’re feeling fancy, garnish with a few fresh fruits, like raspberries or strawberries, for a lovely contrast in flavor and color. 🌟 They not only add a burst of freshness but also turn your presentation into a photo-worthy masterpiece!
Equipment
You'll need a few mixing bowls of various sizes to combine both the wet and dry ingredients. Stainless steel or glass bowls work best for easy cleaning and heating.
An electric mixer can make combining ingredients quicker and effortless, especially when you're creaming sugars. However, a sturdy whisk and some elbow grease will also do the trick if you're going for a more hands-on approach.
Use a baking pan of the specified dimensions to ensure your brownies have the right thickness and bake evenly. Lining it with parchment paper not only makes cleanup a cinch but also helps in removing the brownies without sticking.
A coarse grater is necessary to shred the juicy persimmons, which add a unique texture and flavor to this dessert.

Variations
Craving Gluten-Free Goodness? 🌾✨ Swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking mix or almond flour to make these brownies fit your dietary needs without sacrificing taste or texture. Nut lovers will find almond flour adds a delightful flavor that complements the walnuts beautifully.
Make It Vegan Without Losing Flavor 🌱💖: Replace the eggs with 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds mixed with 9 tablespoons of water, letting it sit to form a gel-like consistency. Use vegan butter instead of regular butter, and ensure that your dark chocolate doesn’t contain milk. Voilà, you’ve got yourself a rich, plant-based treat that’s just as scrumptious!
Faq
- What can I use if I don't have persimmons?
If persimmons are unavailable, you can substitute with ripe bananas or applesauce. Each will bring its unique taste and moisture to the brownies.
- How do I know when my brownies are done?
The old toothpick trick works wonders! Insert a toothpick in the center of the pan—once it comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter), they’re ready to roll.
- Can I toast the walnuts first?
Absolutely! Toasting the walnuts beforehand will enhance their nutty flavor and add extra depth to your brownies. Just ensure they're cooled before mixing them in.
- How do I avoid my brownies being too dry?
Overbaking is often the culprit! Keep an eye on them during the last 5-10 minutes of baking. Also, make sure to use a level measure of flour for best results.
- Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
Yes, but it will result in a sweeter and less intense chocolate flavor. Adjust the sugar to taste or try a mix of both. Experiment to find your preferred balance!
- What's the best way to store leftover brownies?
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for a longer shelf-life. For that fresh-out-of-the-oven feel, warm them slightly in the microwave before serving.
