Baked Passionfruit Slice with a buttery coconut crust. You’ll love how easy this Passionfruit Slice is to make with a creamy layer of passionfruit, fresh lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk.
Introducing my baked Passionfruit Slice ☀️
It may be winter here in Australia, but this gorgeous Passionfruit Slice is guaranteed to brighten your day. Made with sweetened condensed milk, zesty lemon and tutti-fruity passionfruit, these bars are sweet, tangy and irresistible!
If you’re on the hunt for an easy baked treat, you’ll fall head over heels for this Passionfruit Slice.
I think homemade slices are completely underrated. They’re the perfect solution for morning tea or when guests are popping over and you need something to serve ASAP. I love my Perfect Chocolate Slice and my Hedgehog Slice for these occasions.
But sometimes a girl needs to put the chocolate down and opt for something fruity. Especially when it’s perfectly sweet and zesty like this Passionfruit Slice ❤️
And even though this slice is baked, it’s super easy to make – I promise. You don’t even need to pull out the electric mixer – just a bowl and spoon!
The coconut crust is buttery and sweet – a little like shortbread. So it’s the perfect match to the three-ingredient passionfruit topping. Once baked, the slice needs time to set in the fridge. It will firm up and get deliciously fudgy.
One bite of the tangy topping and you’ll be in passionfruit heaven. It’s the ultimate dessert for those who love lemony treats and think coconut is God’s gift. All I know, is this Passionfruit Slice is now on regular rotation in my house.
TIPS FOR MAKING PERFECT PASSIONFRUIT SLICE
- This Passionfruit Slice is quite easy to make. You only need a bowl and a spoon – no electric mixer required.
- First, you’ll need to make the four-ingredient coconut crust. You’ll need to mix together sugar, flour and coconut, and then pour over melted butter. The mixture will resemble wet sand.
- Then, press the crumbs into your prepared pan to form one even layer. Use the back of a spoon to press the crust firmly into the pan. The bake for approximately 10 minutes or until the crust just starts to go golden.
- Mix together the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice and passionfruit pulp. I recommend using fresh lemon juice for maximum flavour. If fresh passionfruit is not available, you can use tinned passionfruit pulp – it works just as well.
- Pour the fruity filling over the coconut crust and bake again for another 15 minutes or until the slice is just firm to the touch.
- You’ll need to leave the slice in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set. Then slice into small squares and enjoy.

Such an easy and delicious recipe, I’ve actually lost count of how many times I’ve made it!

Wow, love hearing that!
holly says
great recipe and the crust was awesome, but you definitely need to at LEAST double the amount of passionfruit, maybe even more. I put in an extra tablespoon and it still was only a very very light taste of it in most bites.

Belinda says
So excited to try this! Do you think almond meal would work in place of coconut in the base?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Belinda, I haven’t tried myself but I think it could work.
Frances says
So easy and delicious. Highly recommended.
Used fresh pulp with pips left in and adds a nice crunch. I think next time I’ll remove most of the pips from the 1 Tbsp of pulp swirled on top last before baking.

Love hearing that Raelene!
CakeLover says
Hi. Can I halve the recipe and make it in a loaf tin, as I only wanted to make a small batch. How long would you recommend baking it for (in a loaf tin)? Thanks
Jessica Holmes says
Hi, I haven’t tried myself but I’m sure you could. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your slice rather than the size, so keep an eye on it!
Pavi says
These are AMAZING! I just cut them and couldn’t wait until after dinner to eat one. So good! I used lime juice instead of lemon juice and I also used the whole can of condensed milk (400 g) because I didn’t want to deal with the leftovers. I added a smidge of salt in the crust to balance out all the sweet. This recipe is a keeper and I can imagine doing lot of variations with it. Next time Im going to try mango!

Jessica Holmes says
So glad you enjoyed it Pavi! Love the idea of using lime juice too – delicious!

So glad to hear that Sarah! This would be so delicious with fresh passionfruit. Thank you for the kind feedback!
Nina says
Hi,
Can I use shredded coconut instead of desiccated coconut?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi, yes you can. The coconut pieces will just be more prominent in the crust.
Brian says
Can I use coconut flour instead of the desiccated coconut? If so how much do I use?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Brian, I wouldn’t recommend it.
Joshua says
