Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini tart pan, set aside.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cold cubed butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Press the mixture into the greased tart pan, making sure to cover the bottom and sides evenly. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.
-
Bake the tart crust in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
-
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple, sweetened shredded coconut, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and rum extract. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Spoon the pineapple filling into the baked tart crust, spreading it out evenly.
-
Return the filled tart back into the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the coconut turns golden brown.
-
Once done, remove the Hawaiian Tarts from the oven and let them cool to room temperature.
-
For an extra indulgent touch, top each tart with a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
