Meanwhile I continued on with the filling. I did not have enough cream so I doubled the amount of coconut milk and added some milk (which I thought would suffice), dumped in the shredded coconut, passionfruit pulp, lemon zest, lemon juice , eggs (from my very own chickens) and sugar. Stirred it all up, it was very runny and I did think to myself I am just not sure about this!
The base appeared to be cooking as it was turning brown and 15 minutes were up, so I pulled it out and began to pour the filling over the top...it was at this moment that the DRAMA occurred...the base was NOT done and as I poured the filling over it bascially spread to the sides and created a big whole in the middle. But what could one do, the damage was done so I just poured the rest of the filling on top and watched it mix together with the uncooked base. I put it back in the oven and hoped for the best. It needed to cook for about 45minutes and we were leaving in 35. I cooked it as long as I could then turned off the oven and walked out the door.
The good news is we came home and I pulled it out and hey it did not look so bad afterall. And it tastes pretty darn good. I definitely think Bill's cooking instructions were a little off (or maybe my oven?) but nonetheless I can add it to the list of new recipes and I am taking the slice out to share at a meeting tonight.
