    If there's one thing I love to bake... it's a slice!

    It doesn't matter if it's a simple no-bake slice, a cheesecake slice or a good old fashioned baked slice - as long as it's delicious, I am ALL ABOUT amazing slice recipes!

    Which brings me to this sweet, creamy, zesty and fruity passionfruit slice!

    Classic Old Fashioned Slice

    When you think about traditional old-fashioned slices, there's a few that come to mind... jelly slice, apple and sour cream slice, peppermint slice, caramel slice - and of course, passionfruit slice!

    If you want to bake just like your grandma... this is the recipe for you!

    What You Need

    My passionfruit slice recipe is made from basic pantry staples:

    • self-raising flour - use self-raising flour or make your own by sifting 2 teaspoons of baking powder through every 1 cup of plain (all-purpose) flour.
    • desiccated coconut - this is the fine coconut that you buy from the supermarket (not larger shredded coconut or coconut flakes).
    • caster sugar - also known as superfine sugar. This is a very fine white sugar.
    • melted butter
    • passionfruit pulp - small tins can be bought from the canned fruit aisle of the supermarket. Alternatively, you can use fresh passionfruit pulp.
    • sweetened condensed milk - use full fat sweetened condensed milk (not skim).
    • lemon juice - fresh or bottled lemon juice can be used.

    How To Bake The Slice

    This simple slice has two parts:

    • the cake-like base
    • the creamy passionfruit topping

    Note: please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    To Make The Base

    Mix the self-raising flour, coconut, caster sugar and melted butter together until a dough forms.

    To Make The Passionfruit Topping

    Mix the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and passionfruit together in a small bowl (it will thicken).

    Recipe Tips

    To form the dough - the base mixture can be quite crumbly so I recommend using your hands to mix it together.

    Pressing the mixture into the tin - use the back of a spoon or a round glass to press the mixture firmly into the baking tin.

    Baking the base - cook the base until only just lightly golden around the edges.

    Baking the slice - continue to cook the slice until the passionfruit layer has just set.

    Cutting the slice - allow the slice to completely cool in the tin before cutting into slices.

    Storing - this slice can be stored at room temperature for up to 4 days.

    Freezing - this slice is not suitable for freezing.
