ingredients
-
Tart
- 1 lb frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 2 tablespoons icing sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 large pineapple, peeled, quartered, cored and cut into 11/2-inch-long, 1/4-inch-thick wedges
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- fresh mint leaves, for garnish
-
Sauce
- 1⁄3 cup sugar
- 5 egg yolks
- 3⁄4 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
- 3⁄4 cup pureed pineapple
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
directions
- Make sauce: In a bowl whisk sugar and yolks to blend. Add coconut milk and pineapple puree and continue to whisk. Pour into a heavy saucepan and heat, stirring constantly for about 6 minutes, until custard thickens and coats back of a spoon. Make sure you don't bring it to a boil. Strain custard through a sieve into a bowl and stir in Jamaican rum. Cool, cover and refrigerate, overnight, if desired.
- Make tart: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Roll out puff pastry dough, cut out 5 6-inch rounds and transfer to baking sheets. Using a fork, prick dough all over.
- In a small bowl whisk icing sugar and egg yolk to blend and brush over dough rounds. Bake 15 minutes until golden brown. Cool.
- Heat a heavy, large non-stick skillet over high heat, add pineapple and cook until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Preheat grill or broiler.
- Arrange pineapple wedges on each pastry round, covering them completely.
- Sprinkle each tart with 1 tablespoon sugar. Watching carefully, grill or broil until edges of pineapple begin to brown, for about 5 minutes.
- To serve, transfer tarts to large plates, spoon sauce around and garnish with mint sprigs.

not only is this delicious it makes a lovely presentation to serve to dinner guests, I didn't have any dark rum so I used white rum didn't seem to make that much of a difference, thanks for sharing Mandy!...Kitten:)
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
