I had a bag of granadillas just begging to be made into something beautiful. I decided on a granadilla curd and that made me think of this spin on a lemon meringue tart. ☺️

I initially wanted to do a chocolate shortcrust pastry for the base, but cooked this for a dinner party I was hosting and wanted to do something more time efficient, so the cookie crust worked really well. Might try something a little less sweet next time.

The meringue recipe can easily be doubled if you want to cover the entire tart with meringue.

It helps to do the curd a day or at least a few hours before assembling the tart so it can cool down.

Steps

1

For the Granadilla curd: Pulse granadilla pulp in a blender for a few seconds and strain through a fine sieve to remove the seeds. You will end up with about 1 cup of juice.
2

Whisk eggs, egg yolks and sugar together.
3

Melt butter over low heat. When melted, add granadilla juice and egg mixture and gently stir over low heat until it thickens.
4

Place curd in a jar and keep in fridge until ready to use.
5

For the Oreo cookie crust: Preheat oven to 180 celcius. Place cookies in a food processor and pulse until it turns into a fine crumb. (alternatively place cookies in a zip loc bag and bash with a rolling pin 😂)
6

Melt butter in the microwave and add to cookie crumbs. Pulse until combined.
7

Add crumb mix to greased loose bottom tart shells. Make sure to press crumbs together tightly so that it does not fall apart. Bake for 10 minutes.
8

For the meringue: add sugar and water to small saucepan and heat until about 110 degrees celcius.
9

Using an electric mixer, mix egg whites and cream of tartar until it forms soft peaks.
10

Continue mixing and slowly add sugar syrup. Mix on high speed until stiff peaks form. Add meringue to piping bag fitted with a round tip.
11

Assembling: fill tart shells with granadilla curd. Pipe meringue onto curd.
12

Brown meringue using a blowtorch or placing tarts under grill for about 3 minutes, rotating every now and then to prevent burning.
13

Garnish with a few edible flowers. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy 🥰☺️
