Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F). Line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar together. Add the cold unsalted butter (cut into small cubes) and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingers until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Press the flour and butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let it cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, passionfruit pulp, eggs, granulated sugar, and cornstarch until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the passionfruit filling over the slightly cooled crust, spreading it out evenly. Tap the pan gently on the countertop to remove any air bubbles.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the filling is just set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the slice to set fully.
Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the slice out of the pan carefully. Cut it into 12 equal bars using a sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between cuts for neat edges.
Serve chilled and enjoy your easy passionfruit slice bars! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
