Passionfruit Slice is afternoon tea perfection – made with a beautiful cake-like base and topped with a deliciously creamy passionfruit layer.
Passionfruit Slice has the yummiest cake-like base and is topped with a beautifully creamy and tangy passionfruit layer. In other words, it’s seriously good stuff! 
To make this slice you simply whip up the base and pop it into the oven to cook until golden. Next you mix up the passionfruit layer and pour it over the base before popping it back into the oven. Cook until the top has set. 
Leave the slice to cool completely before cutting into slices. This is by far the hardest step of the whole slice making process!! It smells so good and you’ll just want to cut into it straight away, but hold off!! If you leave the slice for that little bit longer, it will be much easier to cut into slices (I promise!). 
My favourite thing about this Passionfruit Slice is that is tastes even better the next day. The flavours sort of smoosh (is that a word?) together and the base becomes beautifully moist from the passionfruit top layer. This is afternoon tea perfection. Seriously. Perfection I tell you!

Conventional Method
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees celsius fan-forced. Grease and line an 18X28cm rectangular slice pan with baking paper and set aside.
- Sift the self-raising flour into a large bowl.
- Add the caster sugar, coconut and melted butter. Mix together until a dough forms (use your hands if it's easier).
- Press the mixture firmly into the prepared tin and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
- Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Reduce the oven temperature slightly (to 160 degrees).
- Whisk the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and passionfruit pulp together in a bowl (it will thicken slightly).

- Place back into oven for 15 minutes (or until the passionfruit layer has set when lightly touched). Leave in the pan to cool completely before cutting into slices.
Thermomix Method
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees celsius fan-forced. Grease and line an 18X28cm rectangular slice pan with baking paper and set aside.
- Place the butter into the Thermomix bowl and melt on Speed 2, 90 degrees for 2 minutes.

Notes
- 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 in the canned fruit aisle. 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.
