½ cup juice of 2 lemons

1 Pulse the flour and butter in a food processor until the mixture resembles breadcrumb­s. Add the egg and water, pulsing until the dough comes together. Wrap in cling film and chill for 1 hour.

2 Roll out the pastry between 2 sheets of baking paper to 3mm-thick round. Ease into a 23cm loose-bottom fluted flan pan. Trim the edges and chill for 15 minutes.

3 Preheat oven to 180°C.

Add baking paper and weights to the tin and bake blind for 15 minutes. Remove paper and weights, then bake for 10-15 minutes or until the base is lightly golden. Reduce oven to 150°C.

4 Whisk the filling ingredient­s together until smooth, strain through a sieve, pour into the tart shell and bake for 30-35 minutes or until set in the centre. Cool and chill overnight.

5 Stir the passionfru­it and sugar in a small pan over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Simmer, remove from heat, cool, then spoon over the tart.
