Recipes that all started with a can of passionfruit pulp

It’s the canned fruit every cook needs in their pantry. Passionfruit pulp is cheap and delicious, adding a new level of flavour and flair to a raft of recipes. Here’s 20 passion-fruit dishes from the Taste.com.au foodies.

The latest ingredient in a long line of canned supermarket products currently trending in Australia is… passionfruit pulp.

In current times, we love that a can of something that only costs a little more than $1 can take a dessert or baked treat from drab to fab.

Here are some of our favourite ways to use canned passion-fruit pulp.

If the recipe doesn’t use a whole can, follow our foodies’ lead and add the leftovers into cocktails or spoon over Greek yoghurt or ice-cream.

Fluffy passionfruit impossible cheesecake

There is a good reason this passionfruit cake has the word ‘fluffy’ in the name - the texture is just heavenly (and the sweet, summery smell of passionfruit isn’t bad either). It’s bound to become an instant new baking classic.

Three-ingredient passionfruit whip

This is such an easy and refreshing dessert - just perfect for summer. The creaminess and the sweetness of the whip is offset perfectly by the tangy passionfruit swirl. It only takes about 15 minutes to prepare but you do need to allow four hours for chilling. It’s not essential to pipe this whip into the glasses, but it does make it look more special.
