Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
=== PIE CRUST ===
2 cups Flour
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 teaspoons Sugar
1 cup Solid vegetable shortening
1/2 cup Ice water
=== FILLING ===
1 tablespoon Butter
2 pounds Persimmon -- medium diced
1 cup Granulated sugar
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
Juice of one lemon
2 tablespoons Cornstarch
1/2 cup Cold water
=== TO ASSEMBLE ===
4 scoops Vanilla bean ice cream
Powdered sugar -- in shaker
Cinnamon and sugar mixture -- in shaker
1/2 cup Caramel sauce -- in a squeeze bottle

For the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt and sugar.
Add the shortening and work it through with your hands until the mixture
resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and
work it in with your hands until you have a smooth ball of dough. Wrap
the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Remove
the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly-floured
surface. Divide the dough into fourths. Roll out the dough on the
floured surface into a circle about 5 inches in diameter and 1/8-inch
thick.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Butter four 4-ounce ramekins.
For the filling: In a sauce pan, over high heat combine the
persimmons, sugar, Grand Marnier, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture up
to a boil. Combine the cornstarch and the cold water together, making a
slurry. While whisking the fruit constantly, add the slurry. Cook the
mixture for 5 to 6 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Cool the
mixture for about 10 minutes.
Spoon 1/4 of the fruit mixture into each of the four ramekins.
Gently lay the individual pie crusts over each ramekin. Using your
hands, form the crust around the lip of the ramekin, cutting off any
excess pie crust. Place in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or
until golden-brown.
To assemble, place the ramekin on a plate. Place a scoop of vanilla
ice cream right on top of the pie. Drizzle the caramel over the top.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon mixture.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
