This delightful dessert boasts a flaky, buttery crust and a vibrant, tropical filling that combines the refreshing flavors of passionfruit and lime.

Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar.
- Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg yolk and 1 tbsp of cold water to the mixture. Stir until the dough begins to come together. If the dough is too dry, add an additional teaspoon of cold water, one at a time.
- Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess dough. Prick the bottom with a fork multiple times to prevent puffing.
- Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment and weights and bake for another 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 5 eggs until well combined.
- Add the passion fruit pulp, lime zest, lime juice, granulated sugar, and coconut milk to the eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and no sugar granules remain.
- Pour the filling into the pre-baked tart crust.
- Bake the tart in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set with a slight wobble in the center.
- Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Optionally, garnish with additional lime zest, a dusting of powdered sugar, or some fresh passion fruit pulp before slicing and serving.

Passionfruit & lime tart FAQ:
The tart should bake for about 30-35 minutes at 350°F (175°C) or until the filling is set with a slight wobble in the center.
The tart is done when the filling is set but slightly wobbly in the center. If the filling is jiggly or liquid, it needs more time.
You can use a different size tart pan, but adjust the baking time accordingly. A smaller pan may require a longer baking time, while a larger pan may take less time.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure it is completely cooled before refrigerating.
You can substitute lime juice with lemon juice for a similar tartness. For the coconut milk, you could use heavy cream or another non-dairy milk, though this will alter the flavor and texture.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is cold to achieve a flaky crust.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out to prevent it from shrinking while baking.
- Use fresh passionfruit and lime juice for the best flavor; however, bottled juice can be used in a pinch.
- Strain the passionfruit pulp to remove the seeds if you prefer a smoother texture.
- Blind-bake the crust by placing a sheet of parchment paper over it and filling it with pie weights or dried beans to keep it flat and even.
- Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing to ensure the filling is set properly.
- For an extra decorative touch, garnish the tart with thin lime slices or a sprinkle of lime zest before serving.
