If you are looking for the perfect summer slice, then you just can’t go past this easy Passionfruit Slice recipe. This sweet treat never lasts long in our house thanks to it’s deliciously creamy and tangy filling and crisp base.
When I discovered we’d managed to accumulate half a dozen passionfruit in the crisper I was stoked to have a good excuse to make this slice. I used three large passionfruit when making this filling, so if you have small ones, it’s probably a good idea to add an extra one or two.
Although this Passionfruit Slice does have a bit of a tang to it, both of the boys still enjoyed the little piece from the ends that they tried, although they were concerned as to why there were ‘flies in the cake’.
In the past when I’ve made this easy Passionfruit Slice, I’ve substituted the lemon juice for orange juice (simply because I didn’t have any lemons) and was more than happy with how it turned out.

Hi Lauren!
We have a passionfruit vine which has just started producing A LOT of fruit, so looking at good ways to use them up. Was wondering why use lemon juice in the icing instead of passionfruit juice (as I said, we have a lot to use up)?
Thanks for your help!
Lauren
Oh lucky you! The lemon just gives it an extra zing, I’ve used orange juice in the past too. I haven’t tried it with passionfruit juice, it should still work though I guess !
Connie
Hi Lauren can I make this slice and freeze for later use
Lauren
Hi Connie, I haven’t tried freezing this slice before I’m sorry. I’d suggest freezing just a couple of pieces of it overnight and defrosting the next day to see how it goes. sorry I can’t be of more help xx
Kylie
Hi there
Yes you can freeze it & it doesn’t go totally solid, just firmer & of course colder. I like it like this & so do those I serve it to 🙂
Lauren
Thanks Kylie!
