Method
Step 1
To make the sweet shortcrust pastry, place the flour, icing sugar and butter in a food processor and process until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and water and pulse until the mixture just comes together.
Step 2
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until just smooth. Shape into a disc. Cover the dough with baking paper or plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for 30 mins to rest.
Step 3
Use a rolling pin to roll pastry out on a lightly floured surface to a 3mm-thick disc. Line a 23cm (base measurement) round fluted tart tin with removable base with pastry. Use a small sharp knife to trim the edge. Place in the fridge for 30 mins to rest.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 200°C. Place the tart on a baking tray. Line with baking paper and fill with pastry weights or rice. Bake for 10 mins. Remove paper and weights or rice and bake for a further 8-10 mins or until the pastry is light golden.
Step 5
Meanwhile, whisk the passionfruit pulp, lime rind, lime juice, sugar, eggs, cream and coconut cream in a bowl until well combined. Set aside for 30 mins to develop the flavours.
Step 6
Reduce oven to 150°C. Strain the passionfruit mixture through a fine sieve into a jug, reserving 1 tbs of the passionfruit seeds. Discard remaining solids. Stir reserved passionfruit seeds into the mixture. Pour into the tart case.
Step 7
Bake for 30-35 mins or until the filling is just set (the centre should wobble slightly). Set aside for 15 mins to cool before placing in the fridge for 2 hours to chill. Cut into wedges.
Serve with whipped cream, passionfruit pulp and lime zest
Tear-free tart: If the pastry rips when lining the tart tin, wet your finger or use a brush to moisten the edges of the tear, then gently push the edges back together to close and seal the gap.
