Ingredients:

1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1/3 cup powdered sugar
55g
5 eggs
250g
1 tbsp water
16g
1/2 cup passion fruit
120g
1 tbsp lime zest
16g
1/3 cup lime juice
72g
3/4 cup sugar
150g
1 cup coconut milk
230g

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar.
2. Cut in the Butter:
- 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.
3. Bind the Dough:
- 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.
4. Chill the Dough:
- Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
5. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
6. Roll Out the Dough:
- 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.
7. Bake the Crust:
- 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.
8. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 5 eggs until well combined.
9. Combine Everything:
- 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.
10. Fill the Tart:
- Pour the filling into the pre-baked tart crust.
11. Bake the Tart:
- 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.
12. Cool the Tart:
- 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.
13. Garnish & Serve:
- Optionally, garnish with additional lime zest, a dusting of powdered sugar, or some fresh passion fruit pulp before slicing and serving.

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.
