Here’s a visual treat to get you inspired.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup passion fruit puree (fresh or canned)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 large egg whites
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar. Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg yolk and cold water. Mix until the dough just comes together. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a circle and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- For the filling, combine the passion fruit puree, granulated sugar, eggs, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and pour the filling into the cooled tart shell.
- Now, for the meringue! In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the granulated sugar, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Spoon the meringue over the passion fruit filling, spreading it to the edges to seal in the filling.
- Bake the tart for 10-15 minutes at 350°F (175°C) or until the meringue is golden brown.
- Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing. Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy the tropical flavors!
This Passion Fruit Meringue Tart is the perfect dessert for any occasion, bringing a tropical vibe to your table. The combination of creamy passion fruit and airy meringue is simply irresistible!
