I don't have a flan tin or the like so I used a small pie dish. I didn't get that lovely curling edge because of this but never mind. It tastes just as nice. For a smoother top add more gelatine and no No Egg but really, this is no never mind too unless you're presenting it for an award.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet allergy free shortcrust pastry
- 6 ripe passion fruits
- 350ml orange juice (approximately 3 oranges fresh squeezed)
- 40g Lindt 70% dark chocolate
- 250g caster sugar or sugar replacer
- 200ml half and half goat’s milk and plain goat’s cheese, beaten until smooth
- 2 tsp gelatine or pectin
- 6 tsp Orgran No Egg
Method
- Prepare the shortcrust pastry then refrigerate while working on the filling.
- Halve the passion fruits, scoop out the pulp into a saucepan and add the orange juice.
- Bring to the boil over a low to medium heat.
- Boil until the juice is reduced by half.
- Pass the juice through a sieve into a bowl, rubbing the mix with the back of a spoon to get all the juice out of the passion fruit seeds. (There should be about 250ml of mix).
- Set the juice aside to cool.
- Roll out the pastry as thinly as possible on a floured surface.
- Carefully lay the pastry in a 21-22cm flan tin with a removable base.
- Press the pastry all round and leave about 1cm overhanging.
- Prick the base with a fork.
- Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to 200°C.
- Stand the flan tin on a baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes until the base is golden and crisp.
- Trim the overhanging pastry and set aside to cool.
- Lower the oven temperature to 150°C.
- Meanwhile, break up the chocolate and melt in a small heatproof bowl over simmering water.
- Allow the chocolate to cool mildly without solidifying.
- Spread the chocolate evenly all around the pasty base and up the sides.
- Allow the chocolate to cool and set.
- In a small bowl whisk together roughly a cup of fruit juice with the No Egg until smooth.
- Then whisk together the remaining reduced fruit juice, gelatine, sugar, half and half and the No Egg mixture together in a bowl until smooth.
- Strain the mixture through a sieve into a bowl.
- Stand the flan tin on a baking tray in the oven shelf.
- Pull the pie shelf out as far as it will safely do so.
- Pour in the filling and bake for 30-40 minute until the top forms a light crust and the filling is beginning to set.
- Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool.
- It will continue to set as it cools.
- Chill until ready to serve.
