Ingredients
Scale
2 ¼ cup Pineapple (fresh or frozen)
½ teaspoon Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Salt
½ cup Granulated Sugar
1 tablespoon Maltose
2 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
¼ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice (optional)
10 tablespoon Salted Butter
3 ½ tablespoon Cream Cheese
¼ cup Powdered Sugar
¼ teaspoon Salt
2 large Egg Yolks
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
¼ cup Milk Powder
1 tablespoon Custard Powder
¼ cup Corn Starch
2 ¼ cup Cake Flour
1 large Egg Yolk
½ teaspoon Milk
1 teaspoon Vegetable Oil
Instructions
In a saucepan, combine pineapple, cinnamon, salt, granulated sugar, maltose, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.
Allow the pineapple filling to cool completely before using it. This step is crucial to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
In a mixing bowl, cream together salted butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and salt until light and fluffy, approximately 3-5 minutes.
Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to your creamed mixture. Beat until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Gradually add milk powder, custard powder, corn starch, and cake flour to the mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms, about 2-3 minutes.
Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness. Carefully place it into a tart pan, pressing it gently against the sides and bottom to fit.
Spread the cooled pineapple filling evenly across the tart crust, ensuring it’s well distributed for consistent flavor in every bite.
In a small bowl, mix egg yolk, milk, and vegetable oil to prepare the egg wash. Brush this over the top of the tart.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
