Oh you’re going to love this pie! It’s tangy, creamy and a great alternative to key lime or lemon. Make this Passion Fruit Pie Recipe at your Thanksgiving dinner and I promise you it will be a hit!
I made them in mini version because I think when you serve little portions, people tend to eat more of it than a whole pie, but this recipe makes enough for one big pie. Believe it or not these are so easy and quick to make. I love it not only for their taste but also because it’s original and different. We are so used to serving the same pies over and over that it’s time for a change. Adding a latin twist to your feast would surely make it memorable.
If you’ve never tried passion fruit before, it has a very tangy particular taste. I love making smoothies with it and now I love making desserts with it! I grew up eating this fruit and it’s one of my favorites. Unfortunately I can’t find it fresh here in Miami. BUT the good news is that you can find it frozen on almost every supermarket around the country. If you don’t know what it looks like, here’s a picture of the Goya Brand.
To make this Passion Fruit Pie (or mini pies), I used refrigerated bought pie dough and just cut circles out of it with a cookie cutter. Put the circles in a muffin tin and baked. The passion fruit filling is made inside a blender and then poured on top of the crusts. Later baked and decorated! Easy.
Pie filling is made inside a blender! How easy is that? Perfect to make during the crazy time of the holidays! Take it to your next pot luck dinner, bake sale and you’ll get a lot of praises. Or make them mini like I did, it will look so fancy in parties and other special occasions.
Hope you can try it this Passion Fruit Pie at home and let me know how they come out.

You can make one big pie with this recipe. Use one pie tart and adjust the cooking time with the filling to 15 minutes.
I’ve tried this recipe twice now and had the same result with flat Topping …..is there a typo in the amount of granulated sugar? The recipe calls for 1 1/4 cup should it be 1/4 cup?
Thanks
it’s 1 1/4 cup
