Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup passionfruit pulp (fresh or canned, seeds optional)
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 23 tbsps cold water
  • Extra passionfruit pulp
  • Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pastry Preparation: Pulse flour, powdered sugar, salt, and chilled butter in a food processor until resembling coarse breadcrumbs, then blend in egg yolk and cold water to form a cohesive dough.
  2. Dough Chilling: Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes to enhance texture and firmness.
  3. Tart Shell Formation: Preheat oven to 350F (175C), roll out chilled pastry thinly, cut circles to fit mini tart molds, and press dough carefully into each pan’s contours.
  4. Crust Preparation: Pierce pastry bases with fork marks, line with parchment paper, fill with pie weights, and blind bake for 10 minutes; remove weights and continue baking until golden.
  5. Filling Creation: Whisk condensed milk, passionfruit pulp, egg yolks, and lemon juice until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
  6. Baking and Finishing: Pour filling into pre-baked pastry shells, leaving a small margin, and bake for 12-15 minutes until center is set but slightly trembling.
  7. Serving: Cool tarts completely, remove from molds, and garnish with additional passionfruit pulp and optional whipped cream.

Notes

  • Prevent Pastry Shrinkage: Chill dough thoroughly and avoid stretching when placing in tart molds to minimize shrinking during baking.
  • Handle Delicate Crust Carefully: Use gentle pressure when pressing pastry into tart molds, ensuring an even, thin layer without tearing.
  • Watch Baking Time Precisely: Check tarts at 12 minutes to prevent over-browning; the filling should have a slight wobble when gently shaken.
  • Adapt for Dietary Needs: Substitute gluten-free flour blend for traditional flour and use dairy-free condensed milk alternative for vegan version.
