Passion Fruit Tart Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 150 g graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)
• 50 g granulated sugar
• 115 g unsalted butter, melted

For the Passion Fruit Filling:

• 1 can (397 g) sweetened condensed milk
• 120 ml heavy cream
• 4 large egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons (about 16 g) passion fruit powder by @theorganiclabs
• 120 ml fresh passion fruit juice (or water if juice isn’t available)
• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract

For Garnish (optional):

• Fresh passion fruit halves
• Edible flowers, such as yellow roses
• A sprinkle of passion fruit powder

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas mark 4).
• In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs (or crushed digestive biscuits) and sugar.
• Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and look like wet sand.
• Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 23 cm tart pan with a removable bottom.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

2. Prepare the Passion Fruit Filling:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth.
• Add the passion fruit powder and fresh passion fruit juice, and whisk until fully incorporated and smooth.
• Pour the filling into the cooled crust.

3. Bake the Tart:

• Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
• Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature.
• Once cooled, transfer the tart to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

4. Garnish and Serve:

• Just before serving, garnish the tart with fresh passion fruit halves and edible flowers, if using.
• Optionally, sprinkle a bit more of the passion fruit powder on top for extra flavor and color.

5. Enjoy:

• Slice and enjoy this delicious, tangy-sweet Passion Fruit Tart as a perfect tropical dessert!
