Oh, humble slice, of church fetes and morning tea at Grandma’s. I made this one last weekend for a picnic. Passionfruit slice. Incredibly quick to make and so yummy. If you’re Australian and outside of a major city (even then), you’ve probably tried it. The bottom layer has crunch and chew and the top is a firm and creamy condensed milk and passionfruit combination. What is not to love?
Type ‘passionfruit slice’ into Google and you’ll get this recipe twenty times. No one owns it. Not the Country Women’s Association ladies. Not Taste and not Gourmet Traveller. Pfft. My mum gave it to me, photocopied from the Gerringong Mayflower Village Cookery Book. We used that book for everything when I was growing up. It’s more of a pamphlet than a book, I guess, and Mum’s copy has almost disintegrated. A very well- loved friend. FULL of slices.
Makes 16 pieces.
