Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized fresh pineapple
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 1 stick cinnamon stick
- 250 g unsalted butter
- 350 g all-purpose flour
- 50 g powdered sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 small, for egg wash egg
- 0.5 tsp salt
Instructions
Peel and core the pineapple. Chop it into small chunks.
In a blender, blend the chopped pineapple into a rough puree.
Transfer the pineapple puree to a saucepan. Add 200g of granulated sugar and 1 cinnamon stick.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 30-40 minutes, or until the mixture is thickened and most of the moisture has evaporated. Let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 250g of unsalted butter and 50g of powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the 2 egg yolks and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until combined.
Sift 350g of all-purpose flour and 0.5 tsp salt into the butter mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough is chilled, roll it out to about 0.5 cm thickness on a floured surface.
Using a round or tart cutter, cut out circles of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon a small amount of the cooled pineapple filling onto the center of each dough circle.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pressing gently to seal.
Beat 1 small egg for the egg wash. Brush each tart with the egg wash to give a beautiful golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tarts are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
