Easy Passion Fruit Bar Recipe

confectioners sugar

salt

unsalted butter,

eggs

¼ cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

baking powder

passion fruit puree ((see notes))

confectioners sugar (for dusting)

preheat oven and prepare dish

Preheat the oven to 350°F.  Prepare a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray.

mix crust ingredients

Place the flour, salt, and powdered sugar for the crust into a mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter, a fork, or your hands. 

Put the crust mixture into the baking pan. Press the dough into the bottom of the pan and up the sides as much as you can.

bake crust for 15 minutes

Bake the crust in the oven for 15 minutes, until the edges are just starting to brown. Remove from the oven when done.

Crust

mix filling ingredients

While the crust is baking, whisk the eggs together in another mixing bowl. Add the sugar, one cup at a time, and fully combine. Add the flour and baking powder and continue to whisk. Finally, add the passion fruit puree and ensure everything is well combined.

add passion fruit filling to crust and bake

By now the crust should be done and out of the oven. Once the crust is ready, carefully pour the passion fruit mixture onto the hot crust and place the pan back into the oven for another 30-35 minutes. The bars are done when the center is firm.

allow to cool and set in the fridge

Remove the bars from the oven and allow the pan to cool on a wire rack until it can be placed in the fridge to cool and set. Allow the bars to chill for a minimum of 1 hour. Dust with powdered sugar right before serving and enjoy!

Passion Fruit Filling

I liked the crust and the flavor was tasty but as others said filling was veryyy gummy unfortunately

Absolutely delicious and so easy! I would give this recipe 10 stars if I could!

I have fresh passion fruit and used it for this recipe.  The crust was good but the consistency of the filling was kind of gummy? When I have had lemon or lilikoi bars before the filling was lighter.   Any suggestions?

Terrific texture. Only issue was that the passiin fruit pulp from our garden fruit was very sweet to begin with. So I only used a cupe of sugar and a an extra 0.25 cups of flour. Otherwise it was delicious!

I have a passionfruit vine in my backyard (Hawaii). I have so many and i love the idea of this recipe! Could I use granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar for the crust?

Is the crust supposed to be very dry when you put it in the pan?  Mine wouldn't develop into what I usually have when I make a bar crust.  I couldn't make it go up the sides .  It was too powdery.I  felt that it needed more butter or some liquid.

I also thought they were a little too sweet and that’s saying a lot because I love sweet things. I was expecting the tartness you find in lemon bars. I’d try again with less sugar. Another tip on how to get the juice and pulp without seed residue: I used a food mill (my mother called it a tomato foley). I use it for juicing pomegranates too.
