  • 170g Coles Passionfruit Pulp
  • 50g butter, chopped
  • 2 Coles Australian Free Range Eggs, lightly whisked
  • 1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
  • 1 tbs lemon juice
  • 1 tsp finely grated lemon rind

Coconut topping

  • 2 Coles Australian Free Range Eggs, lightly whisked
  • 1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups (120g) desiccated coconut
  • 1 1/2 cups (115g) shredded coconut

Method

STEP 1 

To make the passionfruit curd, place passionfruit pulp, butter, egg, sugar, lemon juice and lemon rind in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 mins or until the mixture boils and thickens. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour to chill.

STEP 2 

Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 20cm x 30cm lamington pan and line the base and sides with baking paper, allowing the sides to overhang. Use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar in a bowl until pale and creamy. Add egg and beat until well combined. Stir in the flour and coconut. Spoon into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 15-20 mins or until light golden. Set aside to cool slightly. Spread evenly with passionfruit curd.

STEP 3 

To make the coconut topping, whisk egg and sugar in a large bowl. Add the combined coconut and use a fork to stir until combined. Sprinkle over the slice. Use the back of a spoon to flatten the coconut mixture slightly. 

STEP 4

Bake for 20 mins or until golden. Set aside to cool. Cut into pieces.
