- 2 c sugar
- 1/4 c plus 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

- Powdered confectioners sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preheat the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Prepare the baking dish.
- Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
Prepare the crust mixture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, powdered confectioners sugar, and kosher salt. Whisk until evenly combined.
Add the butter.
- Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture.
Cut in the butter.
- Using a pastry cutter, fork, or clean hands, cut the butter into the flour mixture until a crumbly dough forms.
Press the crust into the pan.
- Transfer the crust mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press it firmly into the bottom of the pan and slightly up the sides, if possible.
Bake the crust.
- Bake the crust for 15 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Prepare the filling.
- While the crust is baking, whisk the eggs in a separate mixing bowl until smooth.
Add the sugar.
- Add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, whisking well after each addition until fully combined.
Add the dry filling ingredients.
- Add the all-purpose flour and baking powder to the egg mixture. Whisk until smooth and evenly incorporated.
Add the passion fruit puree.
- Pour in the passion fruit puree and whisk until the filling is fully combined.
Pour the filling over the crust.
- Carefully pour the passion fruit filling over the hot baked crust.
Bake the bars.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is firm and set.
Cool the bars.
- Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Allow the bars to cool until the pan can be safely transferred to the refrigerator.
Chill the bars.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until fully chilled and set.
Dust and serve.
- Dust with powdered confectioners sugar immediately before serving. Slice into 18 bars and serve chilled.
