Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
• 5 whole Kiwifruit
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine 1.5 cups of flour and 0.5 cups of granulated sugar. Cut in the cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool slightly while preparing the filling.

Step 4

Peel and dice the kiwifruit into small cubes, setting them aside in a bowl.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 0.25 cups of flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Gently fold the diced kiwifruit into the egg mixture, ensuring the fruit is distributed evenly.

Step 7

Pour the filling mixture over the pre-baked crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for an additional 23-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden around the edges.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the pan cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the dessert out of the pan.

Step 10

Slice into 12 squares and dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
