YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food Easter baking Passionfruit tart By You Magazine - April 4, 2021 A glorious spring tart with a silky-smooth passionfruit filling. To save time, you can use shop-bought ready-rolled shortcrust pastry. Ellis Parrinder SERVES 8 PREPARE 30 MINUTES, PLUS CHILLING COOK 1 HOUR 10 MINUTES PASTRY 200g plain flour, plus extra for dusting 65g icing sugar, plus extra for dusting 100g unsalted butter, diced and chilled 1 large egg yolk (reserve the white for glazing) FILLING 8 large passionfruit (to yield 100ml passionfruit juice) 5 medium eggs 175g caster sugar Juice of 1 small lemon 150ml double cream For the pastry, pulse together the flour and icing sugar in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and 2 tbsp cold water. Pulse again to bring the dough together (add a drop more water if needed). Shape the dough into a ball then flatten to about 3cm thick, wrap in clingfilm then chill for 1 hour to firm up. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Lightly dust the work surface with flour and roll out the pastry to a circle about 3mm thick. Use to line a 23cm fluted tart tin leaving the extra pastry overhanging the edges. Prick the base all over with a fork and chill for 20 minutes. Line the pastry case with a large circle of baking parchment (scrunch it up first then smooth it out) and fill with baking beans or rice. Sit the tin on a baking sheet and bake on the middle shelf for 20 minutes, until starting to turn golden. Carefully lift out the baking paper and beans and return the pastry to the oven for 10 minutes until the base looks cooked. Brush the base and sides with a little of the reserved egg white and return to the oven for a final 3-5 minutes to seal the pastry. While the pastry is in the oven, make the filling. Scoop the passionfruit pulp into a sieve and press it with a wooden spoon to extract the juice – you want 100ml in total. In a mixing bowl, use a hand whisk to gently whisk together the eggs and sugar with a pinch of salt until just combined (you don’t want any air bubbles). Lightly whisk in the passionfruit juice and the lemon juice, and then the cream. Pass the mixture through a sieve into a jug and chill until ready to use. Remove the pastry case from the oven. Cool for about 30 minutes, then use a serrated knife to trim the excess pastry from the edges. Dust out any crumbs from the middle. Turn down the oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Carefully pour the filling into the tart case and bake for 30-35 minutes, until there is just a slight wobble in the middle of the tart. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely before serving. Serve dusted with icing sugar, if liked. Recipes: Eleanor Maidment. Photographs: Ellis Parrinder. Food styling: Lou Kenney.
