Just do it like peach or something, though a good ripe persimmon is 
mostly liquidy so it would just suffuse throughout the mixture.

Not as pungent, but perhaps equally unpopular is the Hachiya
(astringent) persimmon.  I have a large tree in my DC backyard that
yields far more fruits than I can eat or give away. We just bought an
ice cream maker so we're on the lookout for good frozen desert recipes
for either persimmons or rhubarb (just two plants, but more than we
can handle).

Never heard of the stuff, so I looked it up:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian

The durian is the fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus
Durio and the Malvaceae family[1][3] (although some taxonomists place
Durio in a distinct family, Durionaceae[1]).

Widely known and revered in southeast Asia as the "king of fruits", the
durian is distinctive for its large size, unique odour, and formidable
thorn-covered husk. The fruit can grow as large as 30 centimetres (12 in)
long and 15 centimetres (6 in) in diameter, and it typically weighs one
to three kilograms (2 to 7 lb). Its shape ranges from oblong to round,
the colour of its husk green to brown, and its flesh pale yellow to red,
depending on the species.

The edible flesh emits a distinctive odour, strong and penetrating even
when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as fragrant;
others find the aroma overpowering and offensive. The smell evokes
reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been
described variously as almonds, rotten onions, turpentine and gym socks.
The odour has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and
public transportation in southeast Asia.

The durian, native to Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia, has been known to
the Western world for about 600 years. The 19th-century British
naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace famously described its flesh as "a rich
custard highly flavoured with almonds". The flesh can be consumed at
various stages of ripeness, and it is used to flavour a wide variety of
savoury and sweet edibles in Southeast Asian cuisines. The seeds can also
be eaten when cooked.

There are 30 recognised Durio species, at least nine of which produce
edible fruit. Durio zibethinus is the only species available in the
international market: other species are sold in their local regions.
There are hundreds of durian cultivars; many consumers express
preferences for specific cultivars, which fetch higher prices in the
market.

My wife makes wonderful ice cream with a KitchenAid stand mixer attachment.
The last time she asked what flavor I wanted, I requested green tea, made
with some bulk tea from my favorite Chinese restaurant.  It was
astonishingly good!

More on topic: I have a cousin Mario who makes wonderful gelato:

http://www.amatogelato.com/index.html

I don't know if he makes black licorice, but he makes quite a few flavors.
In the past he has made Champagne and even Viagra flavored gelato (I don't
think this was naturally flavored!).  Durian is a staple in his shop, that's
the one that has a lid over the container to contain the odor.

We make it every weekend for our 4 grand daughters. Fresh strawberry in season, 
peach, vanilla and of course chocolate. We've made a few others but these are 
the ones the little ones like. Since I am diabetic, we use Splenda instead of 
sugar, it takes a little longer to freeze but works out fine for everyone. It 
beats the heck out of store bought crap.
