Passion fruit-curd-tart

 If you haven’t tried passion fruit before, I  would really urge you to. It is something so unique, so intense and absolutely gorgeous to taste.  If fresh passion fruit is not available where you are, you could look for the canned purees. Topping it with meringue was a last minute thought, one that I was very glad I did. Passionfruit curd is generally of a thick, silky consistency but not thick enough to set nicely in a tart shell especially when you think of slicing the tart into portions.
