Equipment

  • Tart pan (26 cm diameter)
  • Parchment paper
  • Baking beans or rice
  • Stand mixer or hand whisk
  • Saucepan
  • Kitchen torch (optional)

Ingredients

  • 200 g wheat flour Type 405
  • 80 g sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pack bourbon vanilla sugar
  • 1 medium size egg yolk
  • 120 g soft butter
  • 20-30 g breadcrumbs
  • 6 passion fruits
  • 80 ml passion fruit nectar
  • 3 medium size egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 225 g cream cheese
  • 225 g sugar
  • 125 g lean curd
  • 4 medium size egg whites
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Some butter for greasing the pan
  • 3 passion fruits
  • 50 g sugar

Instructions

  • Combine flour, sugar, salt, bourbon vanilla sugar, egg yolk, and diced butter in a bowl; mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add cold water as needed, knead briefly until smooth, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 200°C (or 180°C fan); grease tart pan, sprinkle breadcrumbs, and roll out the dough.
  • Press dough into the pan, prick the base with a fork, cover with parchment, and weigh down; bake for 12 minutes, remove weights, and bake for another 5 minutes.
  • Mix passion fruit pulp with nectar, egg yolks, and cornstarch in a saucepan; cook over low heat until thickened.
  • Stir in cream cheese, sugar, and curd until smooth, then pour filling into the cooled crust.
  • Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy, gradually add sugar, whipping until glossy peaks form.
  • Spread meringue over the filling and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until golden.
  • Simmer passion fruit pulp and sugar until syrupy, then drizzle over the cooled tart.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use almond flour instead of wheat flour. Use Greek yogurt in place of lean curd for a similar tang. If you don’t have passion fruit nectar, substitute with orange juice mixed with lime juice. To brighten flavors, reduce nectar by half before adding it to the filling. Store leftovers in the fridge and consume within two days for best flavor. For a visually appealing presentation, garnish with fresh mint leaves or edible flowers.
