Ingredients- 6 semi-dried persimmons (gotgam)
- 6 fresh strawberries
- 6 tablespoons cream cheese
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
For this recipe, using ‘semi-dried’ persimmons (ban-geonsi) is recommended as they offer a wonderfully chewy texture and natural sweetness. If semi-dried persimmons are unavailable, regular dried persimmons can also be used. Instead of cream cheese, you can also explore unique flavors by using thick Greek yogurt or fresh ricotta cheese.
Step 2
Carefully remove the hard stem from each dried persimmon. Then, using a small teaspoon, gently scoop out the seeds and any tough core from inside the persimmon to hollow it out. Be delicate to avoid tearing the persimmon.
Step 3
Spread one tablespoon of cream cheese evenly inside each hollowed-out persimmon. Filling the empty space generously with cream cheese will enhance the overall flavor experience.
Step 4
Wash the fresh strawberries and remove their green tops. Place one strawberry inside each persimmon. Choose strawberries that fit snugly within the persimmon; if a strawberry is too large, you can slice it in half.
Step 5
After placing the strawberry inside, if there are any remaining gaps, fill them with a little more cream cheese. This ensures a perfect blend of cream cheese and strawberry with every bite.
Step 6
Once all the persimmons are filled, wrap each one individually in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container. Freeze for approximately 20 minutes until slightly firm. This chilling process will help the persimmon and cream cheese set nicely.
Step 7
Serve the strawberry persimmon rolls chilled, straight from the freezer. The delightful combination of chewy persimmon, cool and sweet strawberry, and smooth cream cheese is truly exquisite. Enjoy this delightful treat with your favorite beverage for a relaxing dessert moment!
