Ingredients

Biscuit Base

  • 200 g (7 oz. / 1 packet) gluten-free arrowroot biscuits
  • 1 1/2 cups desiccated coconut
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 60 g unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup canned passionfruit pulp, or fresh passionfruit pulp

Passionfruit Icing

  • 2 1/2 cups icing sugar / powdered sugar
  • 30 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 Tbsp canned passionfruit pulp, or fresh passionfruit pulp

Instructions

Base

  • Prepare Baking Pan: Line a 9 x 9 inch (22cm x 22cm) square baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Crush Biscuits: In a high-speed food processor, crush the biscuits to a fine crumb.
  • Mix Base Ingredients: Transfer the biscuit crumbs to a large mixing bowl. Stir in desiccated coconut. Add sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, and passionfruit pulp. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture is well combined.
  • Press into Pan: Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan, using the back of a spoon, a spatula, or your hands. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the icing.

Passionfruit Icing

  • Make Passionfruit Icing: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift the icing sugar. Add melted butter and passionfruit pulp. Whisk until smooth and thick.
  • Apply Icing: Spread the icing evenly over the chilled biscuit base.
  • Chill to Set: Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until the icing is firm and the base is solid.
  • Slice and Serve: Once set, remove the slice from the pan, peeling away the parchment paper. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Store the slice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. 
 
  • Freeze: For longer storage, wrap the entire slab or individual slices in cling film, then place in a freezer-safe bag or container. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
 
  • Thaw: Thaw the slices in the refrigerator overnight. For quicker thawing, leave them at room temperature for a few hours until they are soft enough to eat.
