En Español

I love maracuyas or passion fruits. The smell brings back childhood memories of drinking refreshing glasses of passion fruit fresco or juice; it was especially good after a long walk home from school or after running around on the farm. It also brings memories of just picking ripe ones from the vine, biting the hard skin off and sucking out the fresh fruit.

I previously posted a recipe for passion fruit tiramisu that I made in Ecuador this summer and was complaining about the lack of passion fruits in the US and the high cost when you did find them. I got a message from a lady who owns a farm that grows passion fruit in California and sells them at a lower cost that you pay at the grocery store, so I ordered a good amount of them. I could have easily just eaten them all as is, but I also decided to use some for cooking and making co*cktails (of course!).

The great thing about this passion fruit tart is that you can make even without fresh passion fruit, you can use the frozen concentrate for the filling and it works perfectly. Most Latin grocery stores sell frozen passion fruit pulp, this list of Latin food resources might help if you are looking for places to purchase it.

If you have plenty of fresh fruit then you can make your concentrate by blending the pulp with a tiny bit of water and then straining out the seeds, for the topping I use the fresh pulp as is, seeds included. If you only have a few fresh fruits then use the frozen pulp for the filling and fresh ones only for the topping.

I pre-baked the tart shells for this passion fruit tart, the filling just needs about 20 minutes to bake for it to set, so I wanted the tart shells to be almost fully baked. I initially did a test where I used a chilled unbaked tart shell and put the filling directly without pre-baking or blind baking the tart crust. The test tart was decent – it had to bake for about 40-45 minutes, but the texture of the filling was not as smooth and creamy as with the tart where I used the pre-baked shell. The quantities are for 2 tarts, trust me this tart is so good, that you will regret it if you only make one!

How to make sweet tart dough

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: American, French, International

Keyword: Homemade dough, How to make a tart, Sweet tart dough, Tarts

Prep Time: 15 minutes minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes minutes

Chill time: 30 minutes minutes

Total Time: 1 hour hour 30 minutes minutes

Servings: 2 9-inch tart shells

Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 8 oz butter cut in to small pieces
  • 2 eggs
  • 2-4 tbs water add little by little and use more if needed

Instructions

  • Mix the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor.

  • Add the butter pieces, in batches, and pulse until mixed.

  • Add the eggs and water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a clumpy dough forms.

  • Remove the dough from the food processor and knead it gently for a few minutes.

  • Form dough into 2 balls (for 2 tarts), flatten into thick discs, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  • On a floured sheet of wax paper, roll out the dough into a thin sheet that is larger than the tart mold you plan to use – it’s okay if it extends beyond the edges of sheet of wax paper.

  • Flip the paper and the sheet of rolled pastry dough on to a lightly greased tart pan. Gently press the dough with your fingers onto the mold, start at the center and move outward. Use a rolling pin to roll over the edges and remove any excess dough from the edges. If you want you can leave a ½ – 1 inch to wrap around the edges of the pan – this will help prevent the crust from shrinking.

  • Prick the tart shell with a fork and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until ready to use.

  • If you need the tart shell to be partially baked, pre-heat the oven to 375F-400 F, line the shell with foil and fill with beans or baking beads. Bake for about 20 minutes, just until the edges begin to get some color. If the edges get very brown you might want to cover the edges with foil while cooking the tart (once the filling is added).

Notes

Baking time and oven temperature for the tart will depend on the filling you use and whether or not the tart shell was pre-baked.
