Can I use firm persimmons?

Yes, but you must steam them for 8 minutes until very soft before blending. Using fully soft, ripe persimmons (like Hachiya) yields a sweeter puree and avoids any dry, astringent taste.

Can I freeze these bars?

Absolutely! Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. Thaw them at room temperature before serving to your baby.
