Nyonya pineapple tarts are open-faced tarts. It is an all-time favourite in Malaysia and Singapore, especially during Chinese New Year. The crust is rich, buttery and crumbly with melt-in-the-mouth texture.
Though time consuming, making your own pineapple filling is not difficult, you can adjust the right amount of sweetness to your liking and the effort is really worth it.
