When passion fruit comes to mind, I automatically think of Hawaiian cuisine. When I was in Oahu, Hawaii a few years ago to visit family and friends, I loved drinking passion fruit juice and enjoying this tropical fruit in desserts, salads and even some savory dishes. It's been awhile since I've enjoyed passion fruit in any capacity so I was thrilled when my friend Jen brought in these Passion Fruit "Slice" Bars for our recent Wine & Dine dinner event highlighting New Zealand cuisine.
New Zealand cuisine often uses tropical ingredients and this dessert is no exception. Jen, who's originally from Australia, informed me that down under, dessert bars are known as dessert "slices." (Think key lime bars, lemon bars, seven layer bars, etc - these are known as key lime slices, lemon slices, seven layer slices, etc.) When Jen brought these in and we all took a bite, it tastes very similar to key lime bars. Passion fruit is generally very tart. Jen happened to purchase her passion fruit pulp on her last trip to Australia but if you're not traveling down under anytime soon, you can find passion fruit pulp in ethnic grocery stores, sometimes in a can or even frozen.

Melted butter, to grease
1 cup self-raising flour
1 cup desiccated coconut
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons passion fruit pulp
1 cup self-raising flour
1 cup desiccated coconut
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons passion fruit pulp
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9x13 baking pan melted butter to lightly grease. Line the greased pan with parchment paper, allowing the sides to overhang.
