"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Golden Pineapple-Cheese Tart *Jb

 

Ingredients

2 cup unsifted flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
2/3 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
2 tbsp cream
1/2 tsp grated lemon peel

FILLING

8 oz crushed pineapple
4 tbsp butter or margarine
2/3 cup sugar
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 tsp grated lemon peel



 

Preparation

1. Pastry: In large bowl, sift flour, salt, & baking powder. With
pastry blender, cut in 2/3 c. butter until mixture resembles coarse
crumbs. Add 1/3 c. sugar, 2 egg yolks, 2 Tbs cream & 1/2 t. lemon
peel. Mix with hands just until mixture holds together. Flour &
knead about 2 minutes, Refrigerate pastry in waxed paper for 30
minutes.

2. Drain pineapple, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 10-inch
springform pan. Remove side of pan.

3. Filling: In medium bowl, Beat butter, sugar & cream cheese at
high speed until blended. Add egg yolk & cream. Stir in pineapple,
raisins & lemon peel. Set aside.

4. Place 3/4 of the pastry dough into bottom of springform pan.
Roll out dough to fit pan. Bake 12 minutes or until golden; cool.
Replace side of springform pan. Pour filling into pan - spreading
evenly. Decorate top of filling with remaining pastry (I either make
long strips I overlap in a simple lattice structure or I make little
leaves and berries that I circle around the outside and cluster
towards the middle).

5. Bake 40 minutes or until golden brown (my oven takes more like 1
hour). Cool 10 minutes. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. Serve
warm or room temperature. Store refrigerated.

This is very pretty, fairly easy, and mostly foolproof. I've made it
dozens of times and it has always gotten good reviews. --Julie
