Ingredients
  

Pastry

  • ¾ cup super fine almond flour - see Ingredients in post
  • ¾ cup coconut flour - see Ingredients in post
  • 1 tablespoon sugar - coconut, turbinado, or white granulated
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 large eggs - whisked thoroughly
  • 6 tablespoons butter - melted and slightly cooled

Tamarillo/Tree Tomato Curd

  • cup tamarillo pulp - thawed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter - melted and cooled
  • 1 cup sugar - coconut, turbinado, or white granulated
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3 large eggs - vigorously whisked
  • 1 lime - zest only!

Assemble the Tarts

  • baked mini tarts pastry
  • tamarillo/tree tomato curd
  • whipped cream
  • fresh mint - chiffonade

Instructions

Pastry

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees (325 convection). Whisk dry ingredients together in a medium prep bowl. Add the whisked eggs and melted butter. Combine well! NOTE: Hands work well. The dough is stiff.
  • Press into your tart pans. Bake until golden brown (about 15-18 minutes). Set aside until you're ready to assemble the tarts and serve.

Tamarillo/Tree Tomato Curd

  • Whisk or use a hand mixer to combine the sugar and tamarillo pulp.
  • Add the cooled melted butter, the zest, and the beaten eggs. Mix thoroughly!
  • If you're an experienced cook that pays attention, you can cook it with direct heat (medium) on the stove. Otherwise, you're better off to use a double boiler. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. NOTE: Curd will thicken as it cools.
  • After filling each pastry with the tree tomato curd, top them with whipped cream and chiffonade of fresh mint and thin-sliced lime as desired. Enjoy!
