Passionfruit Slice

I love recipes passed down from generation to generation and was recently sent this beautiful old recipe for passionfruit slice by a friend from his Mum. Since most of my recipes are now printed off from the internet and then hastily stuffed in my binder folder, I love coming across old faded and hand typed recipes such as this.

I made a few slight adjustments to this recipe but it was pretty much perfect as is (and oh so easy). Enjoy!

  • 4 passionfruit

Instructions

Base

  • Mix together ingredients and press into a 30cm fluted tart tin or a rectangular slice tin.
  • Bake for 10 mins on 180°C or until golden brown.
  • Allow to cool.

Cream Filling

  • Combine all ingredients together and beat until slightly thickened.
  • Pour over cooled base and put in the fridge to set.

Passionfruit Topping

  • Stir water, caster sugar and custard power disolved into water in a saucepan over low heat until thickened.
  • Allow mixture to cool before adding the pulp of the passionfruit.
  • Pour passionfruit mixture over the cream filling and put back in the fridge to set (I like to let mine set over night before slicing).

Do you have a favourite recipe passed down through your family? I am desperate to get my hands on my late Grandma’s famous steamed golden syrup pudding!

    :O your photos are stunning. Older + loved recipes like that are so exciting to come by, even all the little stains on that page have me swooning! I’m on a condensed milk high at the moment, so, I totally want to try that cream filling real soon. Aww yeah.

      Thank you and yes the stains are great! It looks like a well-loved recipe. I think condensed milk has to be one of the best ingredients EVER and yes sometimes I just suck it out of the tube hehe :)

    If you make steamed pudding I will love you more than anything INCLUDING potatoes and cheese.

      Oh my goodness, this is an opportunity that can’t be missed as I know how much you love potato and cheese! I will harass Dad for the recipe :)

    Hey Swah the slice looks fantastic! My mum would be proud.

    Did you have any troubles getting the reduced cream? I couldn’t find it when I made it so I used some plain yogurt mixed with vanilla extract and caster sugar.

      Thank you and I am glad I made your mama proud! Fortunately I had no trouble getting the reduced cream from World Square Coles (although funnily enough they had no lemons so I had to go on a wild goose chase around Chinatown for them). However I think your idea of substituting plain yoghurt sounds great (and a little healthier!)
