Notes
Adjust icing consistency by adding more powdered sugar if too runny.Fresh passionfruit gives a brighter flavor, but canned works well too.Let the slice cool completely before icing to prevent melting.Add shredded coconut to the base for extra texture.Chill briefly for cleaner slicing if needed.
