You’ll wish you could have this lovely cake all year round. Sadly, you can make it only during the persimmon season, unless you have some frozen ones, as I advised in this article Persimmon Health Benefits. Enjoy it while you can! Mmmm…raw Persimmon and Coconut Cake.

Start by making the crust. Blend all the ingredients in a food processor. Make a sticky dough. Cover an 8-inch springform cake pan with parchment paper. Press the dough into the bottom and boards of the pan and place in the freezer.
