4 Dessert Recipes Made with Korean Dried Persimmons

1. Korean Dessert Recipe Dried Persimmon Cream Cheese Roll + Nuts

Korean Dessert Recipe Dried persimmons have a strong natural sweetness, so they feel like a dessert even without added sugar. Adding cream cheese softens the texture, making it approachable even for first-timers.
Ingredients: 4-6 dried persimmons, 80g cream cheese, A handful of walnuts/pistachios, Honey (optional)
Instructions: Cut the dried persimmons lengthwise, remove the seeds, then flatten them with your palm. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese and place nuts in the center. Roll them up and slice into 1-1.5cm pieces.
Tip: If cream cheese sticks to the knife, it’s hard to slice. Lightly wet the knife for clean cuts. Drizzle just a tiny bit of honey on the plate for better photos and enhanced flavor.

2. Korean Dessert Recipe Semi-dried persimmon honey yogurt balls

When positioning persimmon desserts as “healthy desserts,” the easiest recipe is the yogurt bowl. Using semi-dried persimmons or ripe sweet persimmons provides ample sweetness, so you don’t need to add much syrup.
Ingredients: 1-2 semi-dried persimmons (or 1 fresh persimmon), 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 handful granola, nuts/pomegranate seeds (optional), 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions: Place Greek yogurt in a bowl and mix in just 1 teaspoon of honey.
Cut the semi-dried persimmons into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl. Top with granola and nuts.
Garnish with pomegranate seeds or mint for color.
Tip: Freeze the semi-dried persimmons, then thaw for just 5 minutes to restore their chewy texture. Enjoy it like an icy dessert in summer.

3. Persimmon Salad + Balsamic Dressing

Persimmons are crisp like apples, so adding them to a salad creates a sweet “dessert salad.” Especially when combined with cheese (ricotta/feta) and nuts, the sweetness, saltiness, and nuttiness balance perfectly, making it easy to enjoy even for those unfamiliar with Korean ingredients.
Ingredients: 1 persimmon, a handful of arugula/mixed greens, 3 tbsp ricotta cheese, a handful of walnuts
Dressing: 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper

Instructions: Thinly slice the persimmon and place the greens (dried of excess water) in a bowl.
Top with cheese and walnuts, then drizzle with dressing.
Finish by placing persimmon slices on top.
Tip: If the persimmon is too firm, chill it for about 5 minutes to mellow the flavor. It’s also great as a home party menu item, making it easy to expand into “persimmon recipe” content.

4. Persimmon sorbet

Among persimmon dessert recipes, sorbet is a menu item that ‘photographs well’ and is ‘easy to make’. Freezing ripe sweet persimmons or semi-dried persimmons produces an ice cream-like texture with minimal added sugar.
Ingredients: 2 frozen sweet persimmons (or 2 frozen semi-dried persimmons), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1-2 teaspoons honey (optional), 2-3 tablespoons water/milk (for consistency)
Instructions: Cut the persimmons and freeze them (at least 4 hours).
Place the frozen persimmons and lemon juice in a blender and blend. If it’s too thick, add water/milk little by little.
Enjoy immediately for soft sorbet, or freeze for another hour to achieve scoopable consistency.
Tip: Lemon juice enhances sweetness and brightens the persimmon flavor. Serve in a glass cup topped with mint or persimmon slices for a café-style dessert look.
