Instructions
Creating Tropical Passion Fruit Bars is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, coconut flakes, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly.
4. Make the Filling: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1 cup of sugar, passion fruit juice, lime zest, 1/4 cup flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
5. Pour Filling: Pour the passion fruit filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake the Bars: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.
7. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack.
8. Chill: For best results, refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour before slicing.
9. Slice: Once chilled, cut into squares or rectangles for serving.
