No Bake Passionfruit Slice
Friends gave me a bag of these super bright orange passionfruit from their tree. (I guess it’s really a vine) I have been testing out a few recipes with these, then this morning, just as I went to make the lime slice I had been planning, I switched. Ditched the limes and threw in 3 of these passionfruit……… amazing! Tasted way better then I was expecting, which is now an issue as I have a whole slice sitting here with no one else eating it.
My kid’s being the fussy eaters they are, couldn’t get past the pips of the passionfruit. They have never eaten passionfruit before. Maybe I can ‘pay it forward’ and share the generosity with my neighbours.
The kid’s have made friends with these neighbour’s daughter. They chat to her as she jumps on her trampoline. I was so happy as it brought back my memories of having kids living either side of us when I was growing up. One side even had a gate to get to each other’s yard and the other a perfectly shaped tree we could climb up and yell out to see if anyone was home.
Anyway, my situation has turned out to be a bit of a pain as one day I said they could go over for a play. My two are only 3 or 4 and she is 8, so I went with them, which would have been fine if maybe her Mum was home and up for an arvo vino, but she was still at work and her Dad was busy with some work. So basically I sat in my neighbours backyard watching my kids on their playdate, bored and awkward to say the least. So that won’t be happening as often as my kids think it will……
Anyway, this makes a great afternoon snack. (for those kids not afraid of passionfruit pips) Or also a great one to take to work for morning tea. Enjoy!

Hi I am keen to try this recipe and only have a cup of cashews. Do you think it would make a difference if I use almond in the middle?
Hi, I'm Shanai!
Hi Kim, almond and cashews can replace each other in recipes like this.
