Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly spray a 9x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray, preferably butter-flavored, and set it aside.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, and ground cloves until well combined. Set the dry mixture aside.
3
Carefully peel the persimmons and press the pulp through a coarse sieve using a fork or spatula. Ensure you have 1 cup of smooth persimmon puree.
4
In another bowl, blend the persimmon puree with the Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking, Egg Beaters egg substitute, vanilla extract, and low-fat milk until the mixture is smooth and well-integrated.
5
Gently pour the persimmon mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir just until everything is combined, being cautious not to over-mix as that can affect the texture of your pudding.
6
Fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is nicely browned.
8
Allow the pudding to cool for at least 30 to 45 minutes before serving. If desired, top with a dollop of whipped topping for extra flavor.
