  • Fold the flour, raspberries, and passion fruit pulp into the mixture until nearly smooth.
  • Add a little milk if the mixture appears too stiff.
  • Divide the mixture among the cases and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Cool in the tin for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Whisk the icing sugar and butter together until light and fluffy.
