Petite passionfruit melting moments

Petite Passionfruit Melting Moments are delicate, buttery cookies with a tangy twist of passionfruit and a hint of citrusy orange zest. These melt-in-your-mouth treats are perfect for any occasion, offering a delightful blend of sweet and tart flavors that are sure to impress your friends and family.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
4 cup powdered sugar
640g
2 tbsp orange zest
30g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
2 tbsp corn flour
30g
2 tbsp passion fruit
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and 1 cup (160g) of the powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Add Orange Zest and Passion Fruit:
- Stir in the orange zest and passion fruit pulp, mixing until well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose white flour and corn flour.
5. Form the Dough:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
6. Shape the Cookies:
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Flatten and Bake:
- Use a fork to gently flatten each ball of dough, creating a slight indent pattern. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to turn light golden brown. The cookies should remain quite pale.
8. Prepare the Icing:
- While the cookies are baking, make a thick icing by mixing the remaining 3 cups (480g) of powdered sugar with a small amount of passion fruit pulp. Add the passion fruit pulp gradually until you reach a smooth, spreadable consistency.
9. Cool and Fill:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, spread a generous dollop of the passion fruit icing on one cookie and sandwich it with another.
10. Serve:
- Enjoy these petite passionfruit melting moments with a cup of tea or as a delightful treat any time of the day!

Tips:

- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature before you start for easier mixing and a smooth dough.

- Use fresh passion fruit for the best flavor, but if unavailable, passion fruit pulp or concentrate can be a suitable substitute.

- When zesting the orange, avoid the white pith as it can add a bitter taste.

- Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.

- Space the cookies evenly on the baking sheet to ensure even baking.

- Allow the cookies to cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar for a prettier presentation.

With just a handful of ingredients, Petite Passionfruit Melting Moments are an easy yet sophisticated cookie that brings a burst of tropical flavor to your dessert repertoire. Follow the tips provided to ensure perfect results and enjoy these delectable treats with your loved ones.
