Prepare Tart Shells: If you’re making tart shells from scratch, prepare a pâte sucrée dough and chill it in the fridge for 3 hours. Shape the dough into muffin tins and pre-bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
Heat Milk Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat gently over medium heat until steaming, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Combine Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cornflour and egg yolks. Gradually add some warm milk mixture, whisking well to loosen and avoid lumps.
Temper Eggs: Slowly drizzle the hot milk into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
Thicken Custard: Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook on medium heat, whisking until the custard thickens, about 10-12 minutes.
Add Passionfruit: Remove from heat and stir in the passionfruit pulp and butter until fully combined.
Fill Tart Shells: Pour custard into pre-baked tart shells and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Serve: Top each tartlet with extra passionfruit pulp just before serving.
