4 egg yolks
300g St-Mamet pineapple chunks

Detailed preparation
Step 1 — Prepare the crispy base
Roll out the sweet shortcrust pastry in a 20cm tart tin.
Prick the base lightly with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
Place the tin in the refrigerator for 15 minutes: this will ensure a crispy base after baking.

Step 2 — Making the Ultra-Smooth Pineapple Cream
Lightly drain the pineapple pieces, then blend them until smooth.
Keep a few whole pieces for the final decoration.
In a large bowl:
1. Whisk the softened butter with the egg yolks.
2. Add the sugar and mix until creamy.
3. Gradually whisk in the cornstarch to avoid lumps.
4. Then add the pineapple puree and pineapple juice.
Mix thoroughly until the mixture is perfectly smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 3 — Baking the Tart
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Pour the pineapple cream over the cooled tart shell and bake for about 25 minutes.
The surface should be lightly golden and the cream just set in the center.
Let cool completely before decorating.

Step 4 — Prepare glossy, airy meringues
Begin beating the egg whites at medium speed.
When they become foamy, gradually increase the speed.
Add the sugar little by little to obtain a firm, glossy, and smooth meringue.
Continue beating for about 3 minutes after all the sugar has been added.
Tip: The meringue is ready when it forms stiff peaks at the end of the whisk.

Step 5 — Bake the mini meringues
Pour the meringue into a piping bag and pipe small peaks onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 90°C (195°F) for 1 hour.
The meringues are ready when they easily peel off the parchment paper and remain white.

Step 6 — Delicious Presentation
Arrange the mini meringues attractively on the cooled tart.
Add a few pieces of pineapple for a fresh and elegant finish.
Lightly dust with powdered sugar just before serving ✨
