Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Base
- 250g digestive biscuits (or any plain biscuits), crushed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
Passion Fruit Filling
- 1/4 cup fresh passion fruit pulp (from about 4–5 passion fruits)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1/2 cup whipped cream (or double cream)
- 1/4 cup desiccated coconut (optional, for added texture)
Instructions
- Prepare the Biscuit Base: In a large bowl, crush the digestive biscuits into small pieces, avoiding turning them into fine crumbs. In another bowl, mix the melted butter and sweetened condensed milk until combined, then pour this mixture over the crushed biscuits and stir thoroughly to coat all biscuit pieces evenly.
- Press the Base into the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper. Firmly press the biscuit mixture into the bottom of the pan to create an even, solid base. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Passion Fruit Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar (if using) in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Add the fresh passion fruit pulp and continue beating until fully incorporated, creating a smooth tropical-flavored filling.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form, indicating it is fully aerated and fluffy. Gently fold the whipped cream into the passion fruit and cream cheese mixture to achieve a light, airy texture without deflating the cream.
- Assemble the Slice: Pour the passion fruit filling evenly over the chilled biscuit base in the pan. Use a spatula to smooth the surface for an even finish.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled slice for at least 3 hours, or until the filling has fully set and is firm to the touch, ensuring it slices neatly.
- Serve: Once chilled and firm, slice the passion fruit slice into 12-16 squares depending on desired size. Optionally, sprinkle desiccated coconut over the top before serving for added texture and flavor. Enjoy the creamy, tropical treat!
Notes
- For a richer base flavor, substitute digestive biscuits with graham crackers or similar.
- Adjust the amount of powdered sugar in the filling based on your preference for sweetness.
- Desiccated coconut is optional but adds a nice texture contrast and subtle coconut flavor.
- Ensure the cream is whipped to stiff peaks for best filling texture and folding gently to maintain fluffiness.
- This slice can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
