RECIPE BY:

Michael Weldon

SERVING SIZE:

2 – 4 people

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 punnet of Coles Taste n See strawberries, quartered
• ¼ pineapple, chopped into 1-2 cm wide slices
• ½ cup Lurpak salted butter
• 1 sheet of puff pastry
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup cream

METHOD:

• Preheat fan-forced oven to 180 degrees.
• Put a large, oven-safe pan over stove. Pour in sugar and stir while melting.
• Once sugar has melted and turned a golden brown colour, carefully pour in cream and add butter. Once butter has melted, take pan off heat and allow caramel to cool slightly for around 5 minutes.
• Once cooled, place strawberries and pineapple slices into the pan, sliced face down, ensuring that the two fruits are evenly spread throughout.
• Take puff pastry sheet and cover fruit in pan. Press edges down around fruit and pierce pastry a few times with a knife.
• Put pan into the oven for 30 minutes, or until pastry is crispy and golden.
• Take pan out of stove and carefully tip some of the extra caramel sauce into a bowl, keeping the pastry in place in the pan with a spoon.
• With a plate wider than the pan, cover the pan and carefully flip so that the tarte tatin comes out onto the plate. Drizzle tarte tatin with the extra caramel sauce.
• Serve with vanilla ice-cream.
