It is okay to make this with prepared Lemon curd filling instead of the Passion fruit?
My favorite is tangerine curd
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.
Did she say 107 degrees, or 170? And recommendations on where to find passionfruit puree appreciated.
At the bottom of page Cooks Instagram link does not work on any of your videos.
Also the link for this recipe is missing.
Looks great. I love it.
something about this person's voice is so pleasing and I loved hearing them talk this whole video, which is rare because I usually prefer dessert videos with no talking in it.
Someone in editing needs to adjust her audio. She sounds too breathy. Her mouth is too close to the mic and during her speaking you can hear every detail of her smacking. Its not good.
Wouldn’t straining also strain out the passion fruit seeds ?
Free recipe please
It looks delicious, but it’s creepy that we never see her face.
Weight it to be exact
The original recipe is behind a paywall! I hate when they do that!
I LOVE this series! More Magda please and thanks. This format feels more modern, fresh and friendly. Not as clinical as the usual ATK format.
I was excited until coconut…ew.
Winner
Why are you using bad quality cookies ? Everything should be baked fresh
Love the idea of the coconut crust, bet that’d be amazing with a key lime pie filling as well.
Where is the recipe?
All the flavors I like!
You might want to go Polynesian on the name.
In Hawaii, passion fruit is called Lilikoi.
Tastes the same, but to me, sounds more
exotic.

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…
Brilliant, thank you so much! Inspiring.
Do you all realize we do not all have clunky food processors? Yet you used them for almost all of these at home recipes. I am going to skip these that do not apply to me
Can't they change the name to something more appealing. It's a beautiful pie, but curd?
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.
So YUMMY. Thanks Chef
this looks super yummy and passion fruit curd is my all time favourite. Where can I find the link to recipe please?
Thoughts on subbing whipped coconut cream for whipped cream? To just go all in on coconutty goodness
Such a good episode!

Hello from California
2nd video today..
Salutations 🍽😋
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
This looks absolutely divine 😍
I will definitely be trying this recipe. Thank you ☺️
I love this series!
Waoooo amazing
Yummy
Looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing 🙂
