Sweet Passionfruit Tarts Treat

The sweet and tangy flavor of passionfruit is a match made in heaven, especially when combined with the buttery richness of pastry dough. In this delightful treat, individual tarts are filled with a vibrant passionfruit curd, topped with a delicate layer of meringue, and finished with a sprinkle of sugar to add a touch of elegance. Perfect for warm weather desserts or anytime you need a burst of tropical flavor.

A Taste of the Tropics​

Passionfruit Filling​

The key to these tarts lies in the passionfruit filling, which is made by pureeing fresh passionfruits with sugar and egg yolks until smooth and creamy. This labor-intensive process may seem daunting, but trust us - it's worth every minute of your time. The resulting curd is a symphony of flavors, with the tartness of the passionfruit balanced perfectly by the richness of the eggs.

Pastry Crust​

To complement the delicate flavor of the passionfruit filling, we use a simple pastry dough recipe that yields a flaky and tender crust. Made with butter, flour, and ice water, this dough is rolled out to form individual tarts, which are then filled with the passionfruit curd and topped with a delicate layer of meringue.

Tips for Success​

  • Make sure to not overmix the pastry dough, as this can cause it to become tough.
  • When making the passionfruit filling, be patient and let it simmer slowly until thickened to your liking.
  • Don't overbake the tarts - a light golden color is perfect.
