Steps:
- Process pineapple in a blender or food processor until pureed.
- Scrape the puree into a pan and add the superfine sugar; cook about 5 minutes until reduced by 1/3 (mixture should be thick, but not as thick as preserves so you can add a little water to thin out).
- Meanwhile, make the caramel by placing the granulated sugar in a heavy pan and cook over medium heat until the edges start to caramelize; shake pan, do not stir.
- Remove from heat once all the sugar has dissolved and the sugar is golden brown.
- Carefully stir in the lime juice (it will sputter and spit).
- Divide the caramel among 6 ramekins and turn them so caramel distributes evenly.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Stir the eggs into the cooled pineapple mixture; divide egg mixture evenly among the ramekins.
- Place ramekins in a roasting pan and pour warm water into the roasting pan so that it comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins; cover with aluminum foil and bake 45 minutes until set; let cool.
- Invert ramekins onto dessert plates (loosen sides with a knife, then place dessert plate over the ramekin and flip over).

COLOMBIAN PINEAPPLE CUSTARD
A simple and delicious dessert from South American Food and Cooking. When I made this it did set, but was not really firm, so it would be best to invert these into a small bowl. This also is not a creamy type of custard - has some of the pineapple texture to it.

- Put the pineapple in a blender or food processor and process till smooth.
- Scrape the puree into a pan and add the sugar. Heat till just boiling and simmer for 5 minutes or till reduced by one third.

Steps:
- Rub the flour and butter together with your fingertips until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. Add the sugar, egg yolks and 1-2 tbsp cold water, then mix until the dough starts to form clumps. Tip onto your work surface and knead a few times to bring any crumbs into the dough. Shape into a puck, wrap in cling film and chill for at least 30 mins.
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and put a baking sheet on the middle shelf to warm up. Roll out the dough on a flour-dusted surface to line the base and sides of a 23cm round fluted tart tin. Drape it over a rolling pin and lift into the tin, keeping an overhang of about 1cm. Press into the corners, leaving no gaps. Save the pastry scraps.
- Line the tart case with parchment and tip in baking beans or rice. Bake for 20-25 mins on the sheet, then remove the beans and parchment. Check for holes and patch them with the scraps. Put back in the oven for 5-10 mins to give it a nutty brown colour. Brush with the beaten egg and return to the oven for 2 more mins. While still warm, use a serrated knife to trim the pastry to the height of the tin. Leave to cool. Reduce oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1.
- Put the cream and coconut cream in a pan and heat until steaming. Meanwhile, whisk the whole eggs, yolks and sugar until pale. Pour the hot cream over the eggs, whisking until the sugar has dissolved. Pour through a sieve into a jug.
- Put the tart case on the baking sheet in the oven, with the shelf pulled out. Pour in the custard, using up as much as you can. Sprinkle nutmeg over the top generously and bake for 50-55 mins until the custard is set with a little wobble when gently shaken. Leave to cool. Chill for at least two hours, or up to two days.
- When ready to cook the pineapple, heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 8. Peel it using a knife to carve away the skin, then cut into four wedges and remove the core. Slice lengthways into long slivers. Arrange over a baking tray lined with parchment. Mix the sugar, rum (or lime juice) and a grating of nutmeg, then paint this over the pineapple. Bake for 10 mins, or until caramelised. Serve warm with the cold tart. We served ours on top with coconut shavings.

Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapples: The riper the pineapples, the sweeter and more flavorful the custard will be.
- Use fresh coconut milk: Canned coconut milk can be used, but fresh coconut milk will give the custard a richer, creamier flavor.
- Don't overcook the custard: The custard should be cooked until it is just set, but not overcooked. Otherwise, it will become rubbery.
- Chill the custard before serving: Chilling the custard will help it to set and firm up.
- Garnish with fresh fruit: Fresh fruit, such as pineapple, mango, or papaya, can be used to garnish the custard and add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
