Ingredients

10 total
  • 500 g of frozen pineapple chunks
  • 2.5 tbsp of cornflour
  • 2 limes, zested and juiced
  • 150 g of light brown soft sugar
  • 500 g of puff pastry block
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tbsp of icing sugar, for dusting
  • 6 scoops of vanilla or coconut ice cream, to serve (optional)
  • 1 small pinch chilli flakes
  • 1 tbsp of (approx.) plain flour, for dusting

Method

4 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Cook the frozen pineapple, cornflour, lime zest and juice, sugar, chilli and 50ml water in a pan on a high heat for 8-10 mins, stirring often, until you have a thick caramel. Pour into a bowl; leave to cool for 10 mins. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

  2. Step 2

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out two-thirds of the pastry to a 21cm x 27cm rectangle. Brush a 1cm border of beaten egg around the edge; transfer to the baking tray. Spoon the pineapple on top

  3. Step 3

    Roll out the remaining pastry to 21cm x 27cm. Lay it on top of the pineapple and use a fork to crimp the edges together. Trim the edges with a sharp knife, to neaten, then brush all over with beaten egg and dust with icing sugar. Make a few little cuts in the top for steam to escape.

  4. Step 4

    Bake for 35 mins until golden. Serve with ice cream, if you like.
