Our first experience with the lilikoi was in pie form for dessert at a popular noodle place called Hamuras. It is a merengue pie and because of its springiness, we call it "boingy pie." It is so light, it kind of melts in your mouth. Not all lilikoi pies are created equal. We have been to two places that claim to have the best. This one is the winner in our book.
The actual fruit it a type of passion fruit. We picked one to at the farmers market and tried it to realize that there is a reason that people mostly use the fruit to flavor things rather than eat it straight. Too seedy, tart, and slimy.

So the name "passion fruit" is kind a misnomer for this guy. At least for me. But the pie is something to be passionate about.
Just ask Eva. She loves lilikoi pie. So much so, that we got her one to celebrate her birthday.
