• Use fresh passion fruit juice for the best flavor. If fresh passion fruit is not available, you can use bottled passion fruit juice.
• Make sure to prick the bottom of the tart shell with a fork before baking to prevent it from puffing up.
• For a decorative touch, you can pipe whipped cream or meringue around the edges of the tart before serving.

Storage and Serving

• The tart can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Serve the tart chilled as a refreshing dessert.
• Garnish with additional fresh passion fruit pulp and powdered sugar, if desired.
