Directions to follow
- In a medium bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined 8×8-inch baking pan to create an even crust.
- In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, passionfruit pulp, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the passionfruit mixture until everything is well combined and light.
- Pour the resulting mixture over the graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set firmly.
- Once set, slice into squares, and feel free to garnish with passionfruit seeds before serving.

Helpful cooking tips
To ensure the best results, make sure your heavy cream is well-chilled before whipping, as this helps achieve the best volume and stiffness.

Creative twists
This basic recipe is incredibly versatile. Swap in different fruit pulps such as mango or passionfruit-mango mixes for a tropical twist. For a chocolate lover’s delight, you could even sprinkle cocoa powder into the whipped cream before folding it in. If you need a dairy-free option, use coconut cream and a dairy-free condensed milk substitute for a tropical flair.
