Delicious and easy passionfruit slice

If you’re in the mood for a summer treat, this slice has you covered. Packed with tangy passionfruit and oodles of condensed milk, it’s a sweet treat that’s a surefire crowd pleaser every time. The simple base uses coconut for that added burst of flavour and can be whipped up in as little as five minutes, while the topping screams tropical goodness.

The slice is made in two parts, with the base baked in the oven first before the topping is poured over and the entire slice is left to set in the fridge. Once set, cut into squares and store in an air-tight container in the fridge. Leave the slice to rest on the kitchen bench for a couple of minutes before serving to let it soften a little.

Dish it up for afternoon tea and enjoy!
