Passionfruit melting moments

Passionfruit melting moments are delightful cookies that combine the tropical flavor of passionfruit with the zest of lemon. They are perfect for any occasion, whether you're serving them at a party or enjoying them as a special treat with your afternoon tea. These cookies literally melt in your mouth, delivering a burst of fruity goodness with every bite.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
3/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
90g
1 cup powdered sugar
160g
1/3 cup corn flour
50g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1 passion fruit
40g
2 tsp lemon juice
10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, corn flour, and 1/2 cup (80g) of the powdered sugar. Set aside.
3. Make Butter Mixture:
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until it is creamy and smooth.
4. Add Lemon Zest:
Add the lemon zest to the butter and continue to beat until fully incorporated and fragrant.
5. Combine with Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix on low speed until a crumbly dough forms.
6. Form the Cookies:
Using your hands, take small portions of the dough (about a teaspoon each) and roll them into small balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork.
7. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. The cookies should be delicate and light in color. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Prepare Passionfruit Filling:
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup (80g) of powdered sugar, the scooped-out pulp from the passionfruit, and the lemon juice. Mix until smooth.
9. Assemble the Cookies:
Once the cookies have cooled completely, take one cookie and spread a small amount of the passionfruit filling on the flat side. Place another cookie on top to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
10. Serve:
Enjoy your Passionfruit Melting Moments with a cup of tea or as a delightful sweet treat any time of day!

Tips:

- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.

- Use freshly grated lemon zest for the best flavor.

- When juicing the lemon, make sure to avoid seeds to maintain a smooth consistency.

- Chill the dough before baking to help the cookies maintain their shape.

- Sift the powdered sugar to avoid lumps in your mixture.

- Handle the dough gently to keep the delicate, crumbly texture of the cookies.

With their distinctive tangy sweetness and melt-in-your-mouth texture, these Passionfruit melting moments are sure to become a favorite. Easy to prepare and utterly delicious, they'll be a hit with anyone who tries them. Enjoy your baking and savor every bite!
