Tropical Pineapple Coconut Tart
This dessert features a buttery crust filled with a smooth mixture of coconut cream and fresh pineapple, baked to perfection. The tart takes about 1 hour from start to finish and serves 8 people.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut, toasted for garnish
Instructions
- Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Press the dough into a tart pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Pre-bake the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the diced pineapple.
- Fill the Tart: Pour the filling into the cooled tart crust and spread evenly.
- Bake: Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the tart to cool completely before garnishing with toasted shredded coconut. Slice and serve chilled.
