Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 g unsalted butter
- 200 g plain flour
- 50 g icing sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 150 g caster sugar
- 60 ml lemon juice
- 1 lemon(s) lemon zest
- 60 ml passionfruit pulp
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 2 tbsp icing sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm x 30cm (8in x 12in) rectangular baking tin with parchment paper.
Prepare the base by placing the butter, plain flour, and icing sugar in a mixing bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until a crumbly dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking tin. Use the back of a spoon to smooth it out. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until light golden.
While the base is baking, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and caster sugar until well combined.
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, passionfruit pulp, and cornflour to the egg mixture. Whisk until smooth and no lumps remain.
Once the base is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the filling mixture over the hot base.
Return the baking tin to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the filling is set with a slight wobble in the center.
Allow the slice to cool completely in the tin, then transfer it to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to fully set.
Once chilled, remove the slice from the tin and cut it into 12 equal squares or rectangles.
Dust the top with icing sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
