Ingredients
  

For the Coconut Shortbread Base
  • 170 g Unsalted Butter Provides rich, buttery flavor; substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
  • 65 g Desiccated Coconut Adds delightful texture and flavor; ground almonds can be used for a different taste.
  • 100 g Caster Sugar Sweetens both the base and filling; granulated sugar works too, though texture may vary.
  • 195 g Plain Flour Forms the structure of the shortbread; opt for gluten-free flour if needed.
For the Creamy Filling
  • 395 g Sweetened Condensed Milk Adds rich creaminess and sweetness; evaporated milk can substitute but may alter texture.
  • 60 ml Fresh Lemon Juice Balances sweetness with tartness; feel free to replace with lime juice for a citrus twist.
  • 185 ml Strained Passionfruit Pulp Essential for that tropical flavor; canned passionfruit pulp is a convenient alternative if fresh isn’t available.
For the Jellied Topping
  • 1.5 tsp Powdered Gelatine Sets the topping; use agar-agar to make a vegetarian version.
  • 60 ml Cold Water Hydrates the gelatine; no substitutes are necessary.
  • 1 tsp Passionfruit Seeds For a pop of color and crunch; omit if you prefer a smoother topping.
