This warm pineapple tart with pineapple-coconut sauce is a tropical twist on a classic dessert. The buttery puff pastry provides a rich base for the sweet and tangy pineapple, which is lightly caramelized for a rich and golden finish.

This dessert is a great option for a summer garden party or dinner with friends and family. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to take it to the next level.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2.On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a 12-inch square.

5.Prick the bottom of the pastry all over with a fork.
6.Sprinkle the icing sugar over the pastry.

11.Let cool on a wire rack.
12.In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, coconut milk, pineapple puree, and rum.
13.Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
14.Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding any solids.
15.Serve the warm tart slices with the pineapple-coconut sauce and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
