Instructions

  1. Make the Crust
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Mix crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt in a bowl until evenly combined.
    • Press into a tart pan (9-inch) with a removable bottom. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottom glass to press it firmly.
    • Bake for 10–12 minutes. Let it cool completely.
  2. Make the Chocolate Ganache Filling
    • Heat cream and milk in a saucepan until just starting to simmer. Remove from heat.
    • Add chopped chocolate, butter, and salt. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
    • Pour into the cooled crust. Chill in fridge for at least 1 hour until set.
  3. Make the Passionfruit Curd
    • In a small saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch (if using).
    • Stir in passionfruit pulp.
    • Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens (about 5–7 minutes). Do not boil.
    • Remove from heat and stir in butter until smooth.
    • Let it cool slightly, then gently spread over the set chocolate layer.
    • Chill another 1–2 hours until the curd is firm.

Notes:

  • Garnish with extra fresh passionfruit pulp or a few edible flowers. (I decided to go with shaved chocolate instead)
  • Slice with a hot knife for clean edges.
