Instructions
For the cookie crumb crust:
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F (180 C)
- Crush cookies in a blender or a food processor.
- Another option is to put them in a plastic ziploc bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
- Mix the crushed cookies with the melted butter, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Use your fingers to spread this mixture in a 9-inch pie plate or tart mold (if you want to unmold it). The cookie crust should line the bottom and sides of the pan. You can use the bottom of a measuring cup to help press the dough evenly.
- Bake the cookie crust for 10 minutes. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down completely.
Fort he passion fruit filling:
- Make sure the oven is pre-heated to 350 F(180C)
- Place the egg yolks, condensed milk, and pure passion fruit juice in a mixing bowl. Use a fork or whisk to combine the ingredients until you have a smooth mixture.
- Pour the filling into the mold with the previously baked (and cooled down) cookie crust
- Bake the pie for 12-15 minutes or until set. It should be similar to a jiggly gelatin. Don’t overbake, it will solidify when it refrigerates.
- Let the passion fruit pie cool down at room temperature for 30 minutes and then in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.
- Serve the passion fruit tart with whipped cream (or meringue) and fresh passion fruit pulp.
