PASSIONFRUIT CURD TART BRÛLÉE

1 quantity or 250 g sweet shortcrust pastry

PASSIONFRUIT CURD FILLING
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 cup cream
200 ml passionfruit pulp
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Sugar to top

Roll out pastry to fit a 10 inch removable-base tart tin. Prick a few holes in the pastry and place a piece of baking paper in the pastry shell. Fill shell with baking weights or rice and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. Remove shell from oven and take out weights and paper. Bake shell for a further 5 minutes. (This process is called blind baking and will keep the tart shell crisp when it has a wet filling.)

To make filling, place sugar, eggs, cream, passionfruit pulp and lemon juice in a bowl, and whisk to combine. Pour filling into tart shell and bake for 30 minutes or until filling is just set. Refrigerate until filling is firm. Sprinkle top of tart with sugar and place under a hot grill until sugar is golden and caramelized. Stand tart for 2 minutes before cutting it into wedges and serving with clotted cream.

Serves 6 to 8.
