"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

2/3 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
2 tbsp cream
1/2 tsp grated lemon peel

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.

springform pan. Remove side of pan.

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 make long strips I
overlap in a simple lattice structure).

5. Bake 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 10 minutes. Sprinkle
with confectioner's sugar. Serve warm or room temperature. Store
refrigerated.
