Want a sweet and easy dessert? This Passionfruit Impossible Pie is a lovely variation on a classic that's been around for generations.

This dessert can be made in minutes. It's perfect for afternoon tea, family gatherings, or whenever you're craving a sweet passionfruit treat. Like the classic version, this pie somehow transforms in the oven into three delicious layers. There's the soft pastry base. Then a creamy custard centre. Finally, a lightly golden top. All infused with that unbeatable passionfruit flavour.

Ingredient notes
Along with half a cup of passionfruit pulp – use fresh if you have it but the canned variety can also be used – you'll need some other basic ingredients. A full ingredient list with ingredient quantities is in the recipe card at the end of this post.

How to make Passionfruit Impossible Pie
It really is a case of just mixing the ingredients together until combined, pouring the mixture into a prepared cake tin and pooping it into a pre-heated oven.
The full method is in the recipe card at the end of this post. Just keep in mind that the mixture is quite runny and that the mixture will puff up in the oven, sometimes unevenly, and then flatten out when removed from the oven.
Serving and storage
Serve warm or cold with cream or ice-cream.
It will last a few days in the fridge. You can freeze, but it's not an ideal dessert to freeze given the custard layer.

This was so easy to put together! The result was absolutely delicious. We added a dollop of cream for extra indulgence. It definitely needed closer to the 60 mins cooking time. Will be making this again, for sure!
