Vickys Scottish Iced Pineapple Cream Tarts, GF DF EF SF NF Recipe by Vicky@Jacks Free-From Cookbook (2024)

Vicky@Jacks Free-From Cookbook @allergyfriendlycook Scotland

You'll find pineapple, mandarin and strawberry tarts in any family run bakery shop in Scotland. You can use jam in the bases instead of crushed fruit but I find jam a bit too sweet for these combined with the iced tops. A yummy coffee time treat!

Save this recipe and keep it for later.

2

Preheat the oven to gas 6 / 200C / 400°F
3

Roll out the pastry large enough to line 18 individual tart tins or a 9 or 10 inch loose bottomed tart tin. I use the fluted edge of a large cookie cutter to make the individual rounds
4

Prick the pastry bases lightly all over with a fork, line with a circle of parchment paper and pour in some ceramic baking beans or dry rice
5

Bake blind for 20 minutes then remove the baking beans/rice and parchment and bake for a further 5 minutes or until the pastry is golden
6

Let cool and if you're not using loose bottomed tins, release the pastry now before you fill them
7

Meanwhile, drain the canned pineapple, reserving 100mls of the juice. Put the juice in a small saucepan
8

If your pineapple is in chunks, crush it with a fork or potato masher and drain off any more juice that comes out. Give it a squeeze in your hand to get most of the juice out and set aside
9

Bring the juice to boil in the pan
10

Put the icing sugar in a bowl and add in a quarter of the boiled juice, mixing well
11

Keep adding the juice a little at a time until the icing is thick, not very pourable but spreadable. Add a few drops of the food colouring to make the icing a pretty pineapple yellow colour and set aside while you fill the pastry cases

12

When the pastry cases are cool, split the crushed pineapple between them evenly and lightly press into the base of each
13

Whip the cream and spoon on top of the crushed pineapple. Smooth over neatly but leave a mound in the middle like a hill. I use my finger for this, it's easier to mould the cream this way
14

Spoon the cooled icing carefully over the whipped cream and let set for an hour
15

Serve immediately. The pineapple will begin to soften the pastry bases within 24 hours if not drained well enough these are best eaten the day you make them. They won't be so soggy that you won't enjoy them though

gemmastarkey Next time I’ll use less pineapple juice in the icing and roll the pastry thinner. I’ve also bought a pastry pusher to help mould the mint he tin better. These are so delicious I’ll certainly do lots of practising to perfect how they look

When and how do I add the cream as you don’t mention that in the recipe? “300 ml coconut cream / double (heavy) cream?” Thanks!

I thought I'd have to pre cook it with sugar?!”
