Passion-Fruit Meringue Pie image

The combination of flavors and textures in this pie is utterly irresistible: sweet-tart passion-fruit puree is amped up with condensed milk, then poured into a crisp, salty crust and piled high with toasted meringue.

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces saltine crackers (scant 1 sleeve)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup passion-fruit puree, thawed if frozen
4 large egg whites
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup fine sanding sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Crust:Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Pulse crackers in a food processor until finely ground. Pulse in butter and granulated sugar until combined. Firmly press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
  • Filling:Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. In a medium bowl, gently whisk together condensed milk, egg yolks, and passion-fruit puree. Pour filling into crust.
  • Bake until center is set but still quivers when pie dish is nudged, 15 to 17 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
  • Meringue Topping:Add topping shortly before serving. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium-high speed until frothy. Increase speed to high and gradually add both sugars and salt, beating until stiff peaks form, 5 to 7 minutes. Pipe or spread meringue on pie, making sure it touches the crust all around. Lightly brown meringue with a kitchen torch.
