Whipped coconut cream
400 g | Coconut cream (Main) |
3 Tbsp | Icing sugar |
1 tsp | Vanilla essence |
Coconut custard
2 Tbsp | Custard powder |
3 Tbsp | Sugar |
3 Tbsp | Water |
400 ml | Coconut milk |
3 Tbsp | White rum |
Tarts
2 slices | Fresh pineapple, or canned (Main) |

½ cup | Toasted desiccated coconut |
Directions
- Chill the can of coconut cream overnight.
- Next day, scoop the solid coconut cream into a bowl. Add the icing sugar and vanilla essence. Beat until whipped. Chill until required. It will solidify so remove from the fridge 5 minutes before serving. It will keep for 2-3 weeks covered in the fridge.
- To make the custard, place the custard powder, sugar and water in a microwave-proof bowl, stirring until smooth. Add the coconut milk. Microwave on high power for 2 minutes, stir well then continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, until thickened. Stir well. Cool. Stir in the rum. Refrigerate for up to 2 days if required.
- Pat the pineapple dry and grill or pan-fry in a ridged frying pan. Cut into 2cm pieces. Cool.
- Fill the tartlet shells with the custard. Top with pieces of pineapple and a swirl of piped whipped coconut cream. Sprinkle with the toasted coconut.
