If you are looking for the perfect summer slice, then you just can’t go past this easy Passionfruit Slice recipe. This sweet treat never lasts long in our house thanks to it’s deliciously creamy and tangy filling and crisp base.

When I discovered we’d managed to accumulate half a dozen passionfruit in the crisper I was stoked to have a good excuse to make this slice. I used three large passionfruit when making this filling, so if you have small ones, it’s probably a good idea to add an extra one or two.

Although this Passionfruit Slice does have a bit of a tang to it, both of the boys still enjoyed the little piece from the ends that they tried, although they were concerned as to why there were ‘flies in the cake’.

In the past when I’ve made this easy Passionfruit Slice, I’ve substituted the lemon juice for orange juice (simply because I didn’t have any lemons) and was more than happy with how it turned out.

  Hi Jasmine, you should be able to leave it out. Just add a little extra flour to the base.
