I've had this recipe on the Wome'ns Weekly website in my bookmarks for a while, but have never gotten round to making it...

Passionfruit melting moments

Serving size: Serves 10 or more
Cooking time: More than 1 hour
Course: Cakes/baking

Makes about 25 biscuits. Biscuits can be made a week ahead. Join with butter cream close to serving.
INGREDIENTS

3 passionfruit
250g butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
? cup (80g) soft icing sugar
1 2/3 cups (250g) plain flour
? cup (75g) cornflour
PASSIONFRUIT BUTTER CREAM
80g butter, softened
2/3 cup (110g) soft icing sugar

METHOD

Preheat the oven to moderately slow (160?C/140?C fan-forced). Line three baking trays with baking paper.

Remove pulp from passionfruit; place pulp into a fine sieve and press down with the back of a spoon. You will need 1 tablespoon passionfruit juice for the Passionfruit Butter Cream.

Beat the butter, vanilla and sifted icing sugar with an electric mixer until pale. Stir in combined sifted flours in two batches then stir in passionfruit pulp.

With lightly floured hands, roll two level teaspoons of mixture into balls and place on oven tray about 3cm apart. Dip a fork into a little extra flour, press biscuits lightly.

Bake in moderately slow oven for about 15 minutes or until biscuits are a pale straw colour. Stand the biscuits on the trays for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool.

PASSIONFRUIT BUTTER CREAM: Beat the butter and sifted icing sugar mixture in a small bowl with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Beat in the reserved passionfruit juice.

Sandwich biscuits with a teaspoon of the Passionfruit Butter Cream. Dust with a little extra sifted icing sugar, if desired.

Suitable to freeze.
Not suitable to microwave.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I should make every one of them and then I would use about half of the stupid things lol.
I've just used your idea Ange and frozen the lot of them in ice trays. Out of sight out of mind lol.
We're all going to be so sick of passionfruit stuff in a couple of months.
Now to figure out what to do with the 4 kgs of grapes - don't say wine lol.

We go through about 20+ passionfruit a week, Indah eats HEAPS at a time!!! It costs me a bloody fortune!!!

Mini passionfruit souffles

3 large passionfruit
900ml ready made custard
1 egg white

Preheat oven 200 C. Cut passionfruit in half, scoop out flesh and keep shells. Strain the mixture into custard and stir to combine. Whisk egg to form soft peaks. Using a metal spoon lightly and quickly fold egg white into passionfruit mixture. Spoon into shells and bake 5-8 mins or until risen and golden. Serve immediately.

I also have a passionfruit slice recipe somewhere - let me know if you want it and I will try and dig it up.

We have a passionfruit vine and end up with buckets of the stuff! It's great in fruit salad and luckily DD loves them as I have a freezer full too!

Can't help with the grapes sorry!

I love passionfriut but i find when cooking with them you dont need alot.

My favs are passionfruit slice

Base
1 cup dessicated coconut
1 cup s/r flour
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
125gm melted butter

Mix all base ingredients together and press into a slice tin. Bake for 10 mins or until golden at 180 degrees celcius. Cool

topping
1 tin condensed milk
juice from 1/2 lemon
4 passion fruit

Combine ant pour over base. Bake at 140 degree celcius for 10mins or until just firm to the touch. Cool in fridge

I would eat 20 a day if i could afford passionfruit. They are like 80 cents each at wollies.

Freezing is a goos idea. They will keep for a while. You can use them frozen in a punch or put them in the kids drinks instead of ice cubes.

Never made anything with grapes but maybe you could freeze them too ???
