  • Total Time: 55
  • Yield: 8-10 slices

Ingredients

✓ 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
✓ 1/4 cup powdered sugar
✓ 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
✓ 1 large egg yolk
✓ 2-3 tablespoons cold water
✓ 1/2 cup fresh passionfruit juice (about 4-5 passionfruits)
✓ 1/2 cup granulated sugar
✓ 3 large eggs
✓ 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
✓ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
✓ 3 large egg whites
✓ 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
✓ 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

✓ Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a rack in the center.

✓ In a mixing bowl, combine flour and powdered sugar; add butter and work into crumbly consistency. Stir in egg yolk and water.

✓ On a floured surface, roll out dough and transfer to tart pan. Trim edges and crimp.

✓ Prick bottom of crust with fork. Bake for 15 minutes then reduce heat and continue baking until golden brown.

✓ Cool on rack. Prepare passionfruit filling by combining juice and sugar in saucepan over medium heat; remove from heat and cool slightly before pouring into cooled tart shell.

✓ Place tart in refrigerator to set for at least 30 minutes.

✓ Whisk egg whites with cream of tartar, gradually add granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Spoon meringue dollops onto filling and toast briefly under broiler or with a torch.

✓ Let tart cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

Ensure your butter is cold to create a flaky crust. Use room temperature passionfruits for optimal juice extraction and flavor.
