I know I say it all the time but...
this slice is DELICIOUS!
(But that could be because I LOVE passionfruit!)
(But that could be because I LOVE passionfruit!)
It's an unbaked slice...
It has pistachios and biscuit crumbs in it...
Combine those flavours with sweetened condensed milk
and passionfruit...
(I have adapted this to use passionfruit topping but the original recipe uses fresh passionfruit.)

And you have 'eat it straight from the bowl' deliciousness.
But if you are well-behaved, you will press the mixture in a slice pan,
and ice the top with creamy passionfruit icing.
Then wait an hour or so, before you slice it into little squares.
This Passionfruit & Pistachio Slice will be devoured with glee...
It is moist and moreish!
I'm sure this recipe is one straight from Grandma's handwritten cookbook.
I like to imagine that it is.
