Passion fruit tart
Description
The passion fruit tart starts with prebaked tart shells, blind baked until lightly golden. The filling combines sugar, passion fruit concentrate, lemon juice, and eggs mixed until smooth, with heavy cream folded in to enrich the custard. The mixture is strained to remove seeds or pulp bits for an even texture.
After pouring the filling into the prebaked tart shells, the tarts bake again at a lower temperature until the filling sets with a silky consistency. The custard does not rise, so the filling level remains stable, emphasizing its smoothness and bright passion fruit flavor. Fresh passion fruit pulp can be added on top to provide extra zing if available.
This tart is a refreshing dessert with tropical acidity balanced by the creamy custard and sweet crust. It is suitable for serving chilled or at room temperature and makes an elegant conclusion to a meal.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 1/3 cups passion fruit concentrate from fresh fruit or using frozen concentrate
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 10 egg
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 sweet tart dough shells unbaked, homemade sweet tart dough recipe is below
- passion fruit pulp if you have enough to cover the whole tart you can do so, but even just one fresh passion fruit will give you enough to just add a little extra bite to the tart, fresh, to garnish
