Creamy Passion Fruit Pie topped with fresh whipped cream is the perfect tropical cream pie recipe that will make you feel like you are in Hawaii! This Lilikoi Pie is similar to a key lime pie but made with passion fruit. This Passionfruit pie is made with a graham cracker crust, creamy passion fruit custard filling, and topped with billowy sweet whipped cream.

Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust:
- 12 graham cracker sheets
- 6 Tablespoons salted butter (melted)
Passionfruit Filling:
- (2) ounce cans sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sour cream regular, full-fat)
- 3/4 cup Passion Fruit Puree * (see notes)
Sweetened Whipped Cream:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
Garnish (optional):
- Toasted Coconut, Fresh Lime Zest
Instructions
- Start by defrosting the frozen passion fruit pulp. I do this by running it under warm water or letting it defrost naturally at room temperature. Once it is completely defrosted, measure out 3/4 cup of the pulp mixture, which will be the texture of a thin smoothie.
Graham Cracker Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulse graham crackers until fine crumbs. Stir in melted butter and continue to pulse. If you don't own a food processor, place graham crackers in a large Ziploc bag and crush using a rolling pin until fine crumbs. Pour into a bowl and stir in melted butter.
- Press firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, using the back of a measuring cup or small glass. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Passion Fruit Cream Filling:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, passion fruit, and sour cream. Pour into the graham cracker crust and return to the oven to bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Let it CHILL. It is important to allow it time to chill in the refrigerator because this allows it to set up. It needs at least 4 hours before slicing the pie. I prefer to chill it for at least 6-8 hours or overnight.
- When ready to serve, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. If you are piping the whipped cream, whip a little longer for stiffer peaks. Pipe or spread on the pie. Refrigerate until ready to serve. May top with coconut flakes or fresh lime zest for more tang.

Notes
- How long does it take to make this pie start to finish?
- This passion fruit cream pie is actually super easy but you do need to prepare ahead of time. Since it needs to chill for at least 4-5 hours, you want to start in plenty of time. You can make this cream pie days in advance. I suggest adding the whipped cream before serving.
- Can I use frozen Passion Fruit chunks?
- You can find passionfruit chunks in grocery stores everywhere in the frozen section. I didn't recipe test this pie recipe using the frozen chunks (I used Goya Passion Fruit Pulp) but I can imagine that it coudl work in this pie. I would suggest quickly pureeing the chunks until liquidy. Again, I haven't tested it yet but will try it in the future so stay tuned. But I do suggest using the Goya Frozen Passion Fruit pulp.
- Can I use a Ready to Eat Graham Cracker Pie Crust from the grocery store?
- Absolutely! You can use a pre-baked graham cracker crust in this recipe. You may end up with a little more passionfruit custard filling because the graham cracker crusts are smaller but it is delicious to eat by the spoonful.
- How long do I need to chill the passionfruit cream pie?
- It needs to chill for at least 4 hours, but I think it is better to chill for at least 6-8 hours. The flavors further develop as it chills.
- Passion Fruit Pulp -- this can be found in the frozen section. I use the Goya brand passion fruit pulp which has no sugar added. It needs to be defrosted under warm water until it is liquid and no longer frozen. Then it can be measured out.
