  3. Made this recipe for Thanksgiving. Found the puree/frozen fruit in the whole foods frozen fruit section. It is divine, the smell, the look and colour. So delicious and just sublime. Loved it, one of my favorites tarts. Ate each slice with coffee and lots of whipped cream.

  22. My boyfriend's dieting and working out again. So, the next time he gets on my case for not joining him at the gym 5x a week (I go 2-3x a week, that's plenty), I'm making this pie and leaving it on the top shelf in the fridge. That should teach him…

  26. My notes:

    CRUST
    ½ stick butter, melted (if unsalted, add ¼ tsp salt)
    2 cups vanilla wafer cookies (34 cookies)
    ½ cup (1.5 oz) sweetened coconut
    2 Tbsp sugar
    1 Tbsp AP flour

    CUSTARD
    6 large egg yolks
    ¾ cup sugar
    ⅓ cup cornstarch
    1-¼ cups water
    ½ cup passion fruit purée
    2 1-Tbsp pats of butter (add ⅛ tsp salt if unsalted)

    ½ cup cream
    ½ tsp vanilla extract
    1-½ tsp sugar

    ASSEMBLY
    ½ cup raspberry jam
    1 cup fresh raspberries
    ¼ cup sweetened shredded coconut, toasted

    CRUST
    In a food processor blitz cookies, coconut, sugar, and flour for about 30 seconds, or until finely ground.

    Add melted butter to cookie mixture and give six pulses, or until the texture of wet sand.

    Press cookie mixture into bottom of pie pan.

    Bake at 350°F for 18-22 minutes.

    CUSTARD
    In a large saucepan whisk together sugar, cornstarch and water to break up clumps. Whisk in passion fruit purée. Whisk in yolks one at a time until well combined.

    Stir constantly over medium low heat for five to ten minutes, until custard thickens and reaches 170°F. Remove from heat and stir in butter.

    Strain, cover tightly and chill custard.

    In a mixing bowl, combine cream, vanilla, and sugar. Whisk on medium low for about a minute or until foamy. Switch to high speed and beat to soft or medium peaks.

    Retrieve curd from refrigerator and fold the whipped cream into it.

    ASSEMBLY
    Spread raspberry jam on bottom inside cookie crust. Pour passion fruit custard into crust on top of jam.

    Chill pie 8-24 hours for sliceable texture.

    Garnish with fresh raspberries and toasted coconut.

  32. Absolutely stunning. I'd like to add this note that the few mistakes you made humanized your presentation. Otherwise it was so flawless it would have been over produced without the mistakes. Your voice is perfect for this type of narration.

    You almost need a child or a cat to come interfere with you to widen the scope a bit. Maybe a presentation at a family dinner. This is so good it's amazing
