Passionfruit

[Phteven]

What can do I do with passionfruit?
My annoying MIL bought a million billion passionfruit because they were cheap and then dumped a bag of them on me.
If I just had a few I can think of plenty of uses but I have no idea what to do with over a kilo.
Does anyone have any ideas because they're going to go off if I don't use them soon?
If anyone says jam I shall ignore them

Do you ever make juices or smoothies? Passionfruit can be great to add to those, but that really only gets rid of one at a time.

Umm, a cheesecake? I'm sure you could find some biscuit recipes that use it... How about just on cereal - like weetbix??

With a fruit salad.
aple and passionfruit crumble.
Cake.
In a smoothie.

You can also put the pulp in ice cube trays and freeze them for when you want them.

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.
