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.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- 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.
- Stir in the orange zest and passion fruit pulp, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose white flour and corn flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Enjoy these petite passionfruit melting moments with a cup of tea or as a delightful treat any time of the day!

Petite passionfruit melting moments FAQ:
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes at 350°F (175°C) or until the edges turn light golden brown. The centers should remain pale.
The cookies are done when the edges are lightly golden, but the centers should still look pale and soft. Allow them to cool and set before moving.
Yes, you can substitute passion fruit with a similar tart fruit puree, such as lemon or passion fruit extract, for a different flavor, but it will change the overall taste.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They can also be refrigerated to prolong freshness.
A standard baking sheet (about 13 x 18 inches) works well for this recipe. Ensure it's lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
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.
