Easy Passionfruit Slice / Bars

**Jubes**'s Note:

Super easy slice to prepare...no electric mixer required. Found in an old magazine at work. This slice works equally well using regular wheat flour or ga blended gluten-free flour mix. My photos are showing the gluten-free version- use gf flour and the slice is gluten-free suitable. This recipe uses a standard size tin of condensed milk and passionfruit pulp in syrup, so there is no wastage

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 16

Yield: 16.0 slices

Base

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup desiccated coconut
• 1 cup self-raising flour (to make the slice gf suitable) or 1 cup gluten-free self-raising flour (to make the slice gf suitable)
• 125 g butter, melted

Topping

• 1 (395 g) can condensed milk
• 1 (170 g) can passion fruit pulp, in syrup

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C or 160°C if using a fan-forced oven. Line a 22cm square pan or a slice tin.
2. Combine all ingredients for the slice base and press into the prepared pan.
3. Bake 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. The base is still soft while hot, but will harden as it cools. The base will be light in colour.
4. Using a bowl, combine the can of condensed milk and the passionfruit pulp.
5. Spread the passionfruit mixture over the slice base and return to the oven for about 12 minutes, or until the topping is just firm to the touch.
6. Remove from oven, allow to cool 15 minutes and then chill until set.
7. Cut into squares to serve.

Devilishly delicious. I also spotted this in a magazine in the doctor's waiting room. I copied it down then with the intention of making it soon. Who knows how many years ago that was? It really is so easy to make and so yummy that I am kicking myself for not making it sooner. This is a great go-to recipe for a quick and tasty treat or dessert. Thanks so much for posting.

wonderful! I used fresh passionfruit, which made the slice a little more tart then I think it would be with the canned passionfruit. I doubled everything for the 2nd slice, and we loved the bigger size.
totally loved this!!!!

This was great slice! Although does need the slightest tweaking. I would suggest using half a cup of plain flour and half a cup of Self Raising instead of one whole. When I was eating them I could still taste that slight baking soda taste the whole time. Im giving this four stars for the easiness and after the change of flours TY Jubes
