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)
Optional Topping
- 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 a separate bowl, mix the melted butter with the sweetened condensed milk, then pour this mixture over the crushed biscuits and stir until all the biscuit pieces are evenly coated.
- 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 a compact and even base. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Passion Fruit Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the fresh passion fruit pulp and continue beating until it is fully combined and the mixture is uniform in texture.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the passion fruit and cream cheese mixture to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
- Assemble the Slice: Pour the passion fruit cream filling evenly over the chilled biscuit base. Use a spatula to smooth the top for an even finish. If desired, sprinkle desiccated coconut over the top for added texture and flavor.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled slice for at least 3 hours, allowing the filling to set firmly and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Once fully chilled and set, cut the passion fruit slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy the tropical, creamy dessert!
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is soft to achieve a smooth filling.
- Use fresh passion fruit pulp for the best tropical flavor.
- Desiccated coconut is optional but adds a nice texture contrast.
- This dessert is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days.
- If you prefer a sweeter dessert, adjust the powdered sugar amount to taste.
