Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 2-3 tablespoons cold water
- 4 ripe passion fruits
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 egg whites
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ cup granulated sugar (for meringue)
Instructions
- 1In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and sugar. Cut in chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 2Stir in the egg yolk and add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 3Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and fit it into tartlet pans. Trim any excess dough.
- 4Prick the base with a fork to prevent bubbling, and bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.
- 5While the crusts cool, scoop out the pulp of the passion fruits into a bowl. Strain through a sieve to separate the seeds, reserving the juice.
- 6In a separate bowl, mix the strained passion fruit juice with sweetened condensed milk until well combined. Gently fold in the heavy cream until smooth.
- 7Pour the passion fruit mixture into the cooled tart shells and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- 8To make the meringue, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
- 9Spread the meringue evenly over the tarts and use a kitchen torch to lightly brown the meringue or bake in the oven for 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C) until golden.
- 10Allow tarts to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Brazilian Passion Fruit Tarts!
