Instructions
-
145°C for 25-30 minutes (Convection Oven)
-
Peel and core the pineapples. Cut them into small chunks.
-
Use a food processor to coarsely blend the pineapple chunks.
-
In a large pot, add the blended pineapple, star anise, and ground cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple softens and most of the liquid evaporates.
-
Add the castor sugar, lemon zest, and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the pot. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and turns golden brown.
-
Remove the star anise and let the pineapple filling cool completely.
-
Once cool, spread the filling on parchment paper. Fold the parchment paper into a 18x18cm square and roll out the filling into an even thickness. Chill the rolled-out filling in the refrigerator until firm.
-
Cream the softened Emborg Cook & Bake with icing sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add salt, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
-
Sift in all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and milk powder. Mix until a dough forms.
-
Split the dough into 2 portions.
-
Spread each portion on a parchment paper. Fold the parchment paper into a 18x18cm square and roll into an even thickness.
-
Place the rolled-out dough in the refrigerator and chill until firm.
-
Once the filling and dough are chilled, unwrap them. Place one sheet of dough on a flat surface, then place the chilled filling on top of this dough sheet. Finally, place the second sheet of dough on top of the filling, creating a sandwich.
-
Cut the sandwiched dough and filling into smaller bite-sized portions.
-
Mix the egg yolk with vegetable oil and brush over the portioned tarts.
-
Sprinkle Emborg Shredded Red Cheddar on top.
-
Place the tarts on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven at 150°C for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
-
Leave to cool before consuming as it is still very soft straight out of the oven.
