Chef tips
Use very ripe persimmon for the silkiest texture and a fuller natural sweetness. If the blood orange is quite tart, balance it with a little extra honey.
Substitutions
You can swap the cottage cheese for thick Greek yogurt, though the texture will change slightly. Blood orange can be replaced with regular orange. For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free oats.
