I love baking with persimmons. And they’re perfect with dates.

Andrea, thanks so much for helping to spread the word about Drop In & Decorate, and for hosting your own events, too! Wouldn’t it be fun if one of your readers decorates and donates the 10,000th cookie?!

This post inspired me to try cooking some other things with persimmons, so I put them in a few savory dishes. Thanks for the inspiration!

Yup – love these – roasted or fried with a little bit of butter and garlic.

Comment on The Daring Bakers Make Cheesecake: Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Cheesecake by Andrea

Hi Aishoka. I hope I can help! First, make sure the ganache is warm and pourable. When you dip a spoon in the ganache it should run easily off the spoon. If it clings or clumps to the spoon, it’s too cool. As for the pecan topping soaking into the cheesecake, was the cheesecake mixture appropriately dense or was it loose and watery?

Tried this recipe yesterday but had some trouble with it. Any suggestions as to what I may have done wrong? The first trouble I had was with the ganache–it didn’t spread evenly, and when I tried to even it out it got very clumpy.
That wasn’t so bad, but for some reason the liquid part of the pecan topping didn’t stay on top–it soaked through the cheesecake part, and the whole thing didn’t really set.
I’d like to try it again–can anyone help?

I love to grill potatoes. I love your picture! We normally do sliced ones but I’ll have to try yours. It’s a great side dish for pretty much anything- hot dogs, chicken, etc.
