Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into a 10-inch by 6-inch rectangle. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a paring knife, score a border about 1 inch from the edges of the puff pastry, being careful not to cut through it. Prick the center area with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
Peel and dice the fresh pineapple into small cubes (about 1/4 inch).
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced pineapple, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple softens and the sugar forms a syrupy glaze, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Spoon the caramelized pineapple onto the center of the puff pastry, spreading it evenly but avoiding the 1-inch border.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up around the edges.
While the tart is baking, prepare the pineapple coconut sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar, coconut milk, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to form a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the coconut mixture and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Once the tart is done, allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with the warm pineapple coconut sauce or serve the sauce on the side.
Slice the tart and serve warm for a delightful tropical treat.
