- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 75g caster sugar
- 1 tbsp corn flour, dissolved in 1.5 tbsp water
- 1/2 cup passionfruit pulp (from 3-4 passionfruits)

- Make Passionfruit curd. Put everything except butter in a small pot. Cook over low heat and stir with a whisk constantly to prevent burns. Once it thickens and starts to bubble, cook for another minute. Remove from heat and add in butter, stir till butter has melted. The curd will look glossy. Pour into the chilled tart shells and let it chill for 1 hour or till ready to serve.
