    Ingredient notes

    Bake up this beautiful slice with only a handful of pantry staples and fresh passionfruit pulp. Yes, you could use canned passionfruit pulp. But go fresh if you can for a more flavour-packed passionfruit experience.

    How to make this easy Passionfruit Slice

    Okay, so the method is fairly straightforward and you can get this slice in the fridge and setting within 40 minutes.

    If you're an experience home cook, you may just want to skim over the detailed instructions and process photos below to arrive at the recipe card. If you're not so confident in the kitchen, keep reading. The process photos should also be a big help as you're creating this awesome slice for the first time.

    Prepping

    Start by pre-heating your oven to moderate (180 degrees celsius / 350 degrees fahrenheit, fan-forced).

    Grab a slice tin (approx 26 x 16 cm), then grease it and line with baking paper. Leave excess baking paper on the sides to lift out the slice once it's cooked.

    The base

    Add all the base ingredients to a mixing bowl (see image 1) and stir until combined (see image 2).

    Pour the base mixture into the prepared slice tin and press firmly and evenly into the tin using your hands and/or the back of a metal spoon (see images 3 and 4).

    Bake the base for 15 minutes and then allow to cool for 15 minutes.

    The topping

    Passionfruit Slice needs a creamy passionfruit topping!

    Towards the end of the base cooling time, place all topping ingredients together in a bowl and whisk until the mixture thickens (see image 5).

    Pour the topping mixture over cooled base and spread it out evenly using the back of a metal spoon (see image 6).

    All that's left to do now is to bake for a further 10 minutes before allowing to cool and placing into the fridge to completely set before removing the slice from the tin and using a sharp knife to cut into squares.

    Storing and enjoying

    Store slice in the fridge and enjoy chilled or allow the slice to reach room temperature before serving.

    The slice should last for up to 5 days if stored in an airtight container in a cool place. It's not suitable for freezing.

    The slice is great just as it is. However, you can also dress it up as a fancy dessert. Add some cream on top, sprinkle with toasted shredded coconut, drizzle some extra passionfruit pulp on the plate and garnish with a fresh mint leaf. Or get creative and create your own dessert using this slice.
