INSTRUCTIONS
Crust- In a food processor, pulse the flour, powdered sugar, salt, and butter until the butter is incorporated into the flour and looks mealy.
- Add in the egg and pulse about 15-17 times.
- Turn out into a clean surface and gather the shaggy dough together into a ball. Cut into 4 equal pieces, form into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and place in the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Roll out the dough and form into 4 4-inch tartlet pans, cutting off the excess. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes. Score the bottom of the tarts a few times with a fork.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.
Filling:
- In a food processor, pulse the sugar and dried hibiscus together until the hibiscus is about rice sized.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the sugar hibiscus together with the egg, egg yolk, and corn starch until smooth. The mixture will turn brown but that is normal.
- Melt the RASPBERRY INSPIRATION in a heat proof bowl in the microwave in 20 seconds increments, stirring between each.
- Once completely melted, pour about 1/2 cup of the raspberry mixture into the egg mixture and blend with an immersion blender to completely emulsify.
- Add the egg mixture into the saucepan with the rest of the raspberry mixture.
- Place back over medium heat and continue to cook while continuously stirring until the mixture slightly thickens, about 2 minutes.
- Strain the filling and whisk in the lemon juice, butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour evenly into the baked tart shells.
- Place in the fridge to set for at least 4 hours.
Swiss Meringue:
- Over a double boiler whisk the sugar and egg whites together.
- Continue to gently cook until the sugar has completely dissolved, about 10 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into a standing mixer with the cream of tartar.
- Whip on medium/high for about 5 minutes or until stiff peaks occur.
- Place into a piping back with a star tip attached.
- Pipe the meringue onto the tartlets before serving then torch until golden brown on all sides.
