Crust

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
In a bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream together the butter, sugar and molasses.
Add the egg and mix well.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and salt.
Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat just until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not over work the dough.
Press into a square on a piece of plastic wrap, enclose in the plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Spray an 8” fluted tart pan with a removable bottom with vegetable oil cooking spray.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to ¼” thick and 10” in diameter and carefully transfer to the prepared pan.
Press into the bottom and sides of the pan. Using a rolling pin, press down on the pan edges to trim off the excess dough. This dough is very soft so you must work quikly.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes
Bake the crust for 20 minutes, until light golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Curd

In a stainless steel or other heatproof bowl that will fit over the top of a pan of boiling water, whisk together the whole eggs and egg yolks until blended.
Add the sugar and lilikoi puree and mix well.
Place the bowl on top of a pan of boiling water and whisk continuously for 10-15 minutes, until the mixture thickens and has the consistency of a thick pudding.
Immediately pour into the baked crust.
Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Meringue

In a bowl, combine the egg whites and sugar.
Place over a pan of simmering water and whisk continuously until warm.
Remove from the heat and whisk until cool.
Spoon the meringue into a pastry bag fitted with a ½” star tip and pipe rosettes on top of the pie.
Use a butane torch to lightly color the top, or slip briefly under a preheated broiler.
Return the tart to the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour, until completely set.
To unmold, remove the pan sides and slide the pie onto a serving plate.
Serve chilled.
