Ingredients
· Melted butter, to grease
· 150g flour
· 85g of desiccated coconut
· 100g of brown sugar
· 100g butter, melted
· 1 can sweetened condensed milk
· 125ml fresh lemon juice
· 2 tablespoons passion fruit pulp
Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush a 16 x 26cm slab pan with melted butter to lightly grease. Line the base and long sides with non-stick baking paper. Use a wooden spoon to combine the flour, coconut, sugar and butter in a large bowl. Use your hands to bring the dough together in the bowl. Transfer to the prepared pan. Use a metal spoon to press firmly over the base. Bake for 12 minutes or until light golden. Set aside to cool. Reduce oven temperature to 150°C. Use a balloon whisk to whisk together the condensed milk, lemon juice and passion fruit pulp in a large bowl until smooth and well combined. Pour into the pan and spread evenly over the base. Bake in oven for 15 minutes until just firm to the touch. Set aside to cool completely. Cut into slices to serve.
