Passionfruit tart FAQ:
Bake the crust for about 15 minutes until lightly golden. After filling it, return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.
The filling is done when it is set and has a slight jiggle but does not appear liquid. A slightly golden top is also a good indicator that it is ready.
You will need a 9-inch tart pan for this recipe, which provides the right depth and surface area for the crust and filling.
While passion fruit provides a unique flavor, you can substitute it with other tart fruits like lemon or lime, but the taste will differ significantly. Adjust sugar levels if using sweeter fruits.
Store any leftover tart in the refrigerator, covered loosely with plastic wrap or foil. It will keep well for up to 3-4 days.
Tips:
- Chill the Dough: Ensure your tart crust is flaky by chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This helps the butter to solidify and gives you a more manageable dough.
- Strain the Passionfruit: To avoid seeds in your tart filling, strain the passionfruit pulp through a fine sieve. This ensures a smooth and creamy texture.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh lemons and passionfruits. Fresh ingredients will provide a more vibrant and authentic taste.
- Prevent Overbaking: Watch your tart closely while it bakes to prevent overbaking. The filling should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center when you take it out of the oven.
- Cool Completely: Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly and makes for cleaner slices.
