PASSION FRUIT CURD AND LIME TARTS

April 19, 2013 By Manu 6 Comments

Passion fruit Curd and Lime Tarts

I had some pasta frolla dough and some Passion fruit Curd sitting in my freezer and I could not wait to use them up… together!  You see, pasta frolla is the Italian pie crust that we use to make crostata or simple cookies.  So the pairing was really very easy.  I just cooked the tarts and then filled them with the Passion fruit Curd.  I only added some lime zest to the original curd recipe because I had some great fresh limes in the fridge and I thought the zest would add a nice zing to the tarts… and it did!  I loved the combination!  I was very pleased with the final result: they looked gorgeous with that bright yellow colour and they tasted even better!  Besides, they were very easy and fast to make and they were a great way to use up my leftovers!  Don’t you think they make an elegant dessert worthy of a fancy tea party?  Enjoy!

Prep Time 1 hour
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Author Manuela Zangara

Ingredients

Dough (you will need approximately 1/3 of the below dough. You can freeze the rest for later)

  • 250 gms – 8.8 oz. flour
  • 125 gms – 4.4 oz. sugar
  • 125 gms – 4.4 oz. softened unsalted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 pinch of salt

Filling

  • 6 tbsp passion fruit curd
  • Zest of ½ lime grated

Instructions

Dough

  1. Knead the flour together with the sugar, butter, egg and salt until obtaining a smooth dough.
  2. Wrap it with some cling wrap and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  3. Take it out of the fridge, place it on a sheet of baking paper and roll it into a 1 cm – 0.4 inch thick sheet.
  4. Cut 2 circles of approximately the same size as your tart tins and put the dough in the greased tins. Press it down well and make sure you have dough at the sides as well.
  5. Prick the dough with a fork. Cover with some baking paper and fill them with beans or rice so that it will not puff up while baking.
  6. Cook them in a pre-heated oven at 180°C – 355°F for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Discard the beans and let the tarts cool down completely before un-moulding and filling them.

Filling

  1. Make the passion fruit curd as per this recipe.
  2. When cooled, mix in the grated lime zest.
  3. Fill the cooled tarts with the curd, decorate with some more lime zest and strawberries (optional) and serve.

    OMgoodness passion fruit is one of my favorites flavors in desserts. It is such an elusive fruit in the US & so expensive when you find it. Luckily there is pure frozen pulp sold here. Love these passion fruit curd and lime tarts.

    I had passion fruit curd once, and I fell in love. It was so tangy and bright! What a great idea to fill a tart with it 🙂
