  • Lightly tap mini muffin pans on the counter to loosen tarts. Dust lightly with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Categories     Cookies

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

nonstick cooking spray
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar (plus more, for dusting)
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (but not melted)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 (8-oz) jar(s) pineapple preserves (or 8-oz can crushed pineapple)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups flaked coconut
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, finely chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray bottom and sides of 36 cups in mini-muffin pans); set aside.
  • 2. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the flour, 1/2-cup confectioners' sugar and cornstarch. Add butter and vanilla extract, and use a spoon to stir until a soft dough forms.
  • 3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1 ball in each of 36 cups of the muffin pans. With your fingers, press each dough ball across the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup, to mold them into a cup-shaped pastry shell (the same shape as the muffin cups). Spoon 1 tsp. pineapple preserves into each dough-lined cup. TIPS: • Stick to 1 tsp preserves for each cup; avoid over-filling or they become very sticky. • Make sure none of the preserves touch the sides of the pan or the tarts will stick to the edges and can be difficult to remove from the pan.
  • 4. In a small bowl, combine sugar and egg; beat with fork until well blended. Add coconut and nuts; stir until thoroughly blended. Spoon 1 tsp. coconut mixture over preserves in each cup.
  • 5. Place baking pans in oven, and bake for 23 to 33 minutes or until crusts are very light golden brown. Cool in pans for 5 minutes, then run a butter knife around edges (to loosen tarts), then cool another 10 minutes in the pan.
  • 6. To release tarts from cups, run a butter knife along the edges again. Hold muffin pan upside down at an angle. Then firmly tap the bottom of each cup 2 to 3 times with the bottom of the knife handle until tarts release. Place tarts on rack to cool completely (about 15 to 20 minutes). Just before serving, sprinkle the tops with a light dusting of confectioners' sugar.

  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the bananas until they are smooth. This will help to create a creamy filling.
  • Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the banana mixture for a richer flavor.
  • Use a variety of nuts in the crust, such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds. This will add a crunchy texture to the tart.
  • Press the crust firmly into the tart pan. This will help to prevent the crust from cracking when it is baked.
  • Bake the tarts until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The filling should be slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Let the tarts cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to firm up.
