What are Tarts?
Tarts are one of the most versatile recipes invented for desserts. These are baked dishes with a pastry base and sweet or savory filling. Nowadays, most tarts are on the sweet side, like Portuguese egg tarts and lemon meringue tarts. But there was also a tasty savory tart variety that may be found in bakeries and cafes, like quiche.
Pineapple Tarts
There are tons of tart varieties available globally. But in Southeast Asia, the most common type is Pineapple Tarts. It may appear in different forms and sizes, but the key ingredient will always be pineapple! Packed with flavors, it’s a balance between sweet, tangy, and coconut goodness. It will definitely be one sure hit for family and friends. Aside from its goodness, this is also a healthy snack option as pineapples are known for their health benefits, like vitamins C, manganese, and more. It is also a good source of fiber and antioxidants that are really beneficial for one’s health.
Forms and Variations
As mentioned earlier, this recipe is easy. Instead of making your pastry crust or tart shells, you can easily find one on frozen and ready-to-bake. However, if you want to unleash your inner baker self, go ahead and make tart shells from scratch. As for the filling, you can use any fruit you wish or in season. I love adding mangoes to my pineapple or peaches for an extra fruity taste. And instead of coconut, you can also add chopped nuts for extra bite and crunch. So go ahead, explore and experiment until you create a specialty that you can call your own!
