Chocolate cups with persimmon are so simple and quick to prepare. They are suitable for occasions where you need to serve a dessert in few time. When it comes to food, I love simplicity.
Persimmons are a precious fruit. They contain insoluble fiber, very useful in counteracting high levels of cholesterol, as it is able to significantly reduce the absorption of cholesterol. In addition to being rich in water and sugar, persimmons are rich in fiber. For this, they have laxative effect and they are also diuretic, presenting a lot of potassium.
Persimmons give color and sweetness to a delicious eggs free dessert, ideal all year round with other seasonal fruit.
Chocolate is an excellent thickener and, even in creams like these, it perfectly replaces the eggs.
