  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Passionfruit Icing

  • Spread the custard mixture into the prepared pan and then add the second sheet of pastry to the top. Set aside to cool completely.

Passionfruit Icing

  • Combine the icing sugar and passionfruit pulp in a large bowl. Mix together until smooth.
