💭 Tips For Recipe Success

  • Crush the biscuits into crumbs easily in a food processor. If you don’t have a food processor, simply crush the biscuits in a zip-lock bag with a rolling pin to roll over the biscuits until they’re crushed.
  • I find it easier using my hands to mix the condensed milk into the dry ingredients. Pop on some food-safe gloves and enjoy the faster process.
  • Press the biscuit base firmly into your lined baking tin using your hands then smooth it out with a rubber spatula to create an even top.
  • Sift the powdered sugar when making the frosting to remove any lumps.
  • Best enjoyed when the slice chills and sets in the fridge overnight.

💬 Recipe FAQ’s

Can I use fresh passionfruit instead of canned?

Yes! You can use either canned or fresh passionfruit using the same quantity for both.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes! Simply use gluten-free arrowroot biscuits for the biscuit base or the recommended alternatives but in their gluten-free versions.

I don’t have a food processor, what else can I use?

Easily crush your biscuits by placing them in a zip-lock bag and take a rolling pin and roll it firmly over the biscuits in the bag until they’re crushed. Some larger pieces are ok to leave in.

Can I substitute the sweetened condensed milk?

It’s crucial to use condensed milk in this recipe for the base to stick together properly. For a healthier substitute, try using unsweetened condensed milk or condensed coconut milk but this recipe has not been tested using the coconut version.

  1. Where can I find deccixated coconut? Is it unsweetened? Why not shredded? E gf are the difference between the two?

    1. Hi Maria, desiccated coconut is also known as unsweetened finely shredded coconut, just make sure not to use the larger strips of coconut. Hope that helps! 🙂

  2. 5 stars
    I have a question! Is 3/4 cup of condensed milk the same amount as a 395g tin? My plan is to use a whole tin [395g] of condensed milk so would I need to increase the quantity of the other ingredients?

    1. Hi Julie! No, 3/4 cup is 200g of condensed milk, which is a bit less than the full 395g tin. If you’re going to be using the whole can, I recommend making the recipe as it is, using the full can, then seeing and feeling the base’s consistency. If it’s too sloppy and you can see it doesn’t hold its shape when you roll some of it in your hand, I would add more desiccated coconut until you reach the right consistency. I hope that helps!
