Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Use room temperature for better creaming.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar Can be reduced for less sweetness.
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour Ensure it's sifted for a lighter texture.
  • pinch salt Omit if using salted butter.
For the Filling
  • 2 large eggs Use room temperature for better incorporation.
  • 3/4 cup passion fruit purée Frozen seedless purée is recommended; avoid juice for better consistency.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • powdered sugar Optional for dusting on top.

Equipment

  • 8x8-inch baking dish
  • Mixing Bowls
  • whisk

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually blend in the flour and salt until the dough resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Transfer the mixture into your baking dish and press it firmly. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden. Allow it to cool slightly.
  4. Whisk together the eggs and stir in the passion fruit purée and remaining sugar until smooth. Sift in the flour and whisk until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the filling over the crust and bake for 25-35 minutes until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly. Cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for another hour.
  6. Cut into squares, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve.
