Persimmon Pie With Ice Cream And Hot Caramel

[Guest guest]

I was reading a website about holiday pies by astrological sign (tarot.com), and

happened across this one for Taurus. I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know if

it can be made non-dairy, (I kind of doubt it) but it sounded good enough to

share:
