Passionfruit Custard Tarts

I decided to make these mini Passionfruit Custard Tarts as a birthday treat.  I don't normally have a birthday cake on my birthday.  I like to have lots of small desserts instead.  One year I got a variety of vanilla slices and that was so delicious as I got to try all the different varieties available.  I must say my favourite is still the French vanilla slice. Another, funny thing is that I don't think I've ever made my own birthday cake before. Maybe next year as this year I just arrived home from an overseas holiday and am still feeling the jet-lag. These mini Passionfruit Custard Tarts are delicious and fun to make.  Each tart has a melt-in-your-mouth shortcrust pastry, filled with a smooth creamy custard and topped with fresh passionfruit pulp which gives it a nice tang.
