Ingredients
  

Biscuit Crust

  • 1 packet biscuits crushed
  • 100 g butter melted

Pineapple Filling

  • 1 tin condensed milk
  • 125 ml lemon juice
  • 1 tin crushed pineapple 400 g, well drained
  • 300 ml cream whipped until thick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust

  • Crush the biscuits finely by hand or pulse them in a food processor.
    Shortbread cookies with bowls of lemon curd, melted butter, lemon juice, crushed pineapple, and cream cheese frosting on a wooden surface.
  • Add the melted butter and pulse or stir briefly, just until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  • Press the mixture firmly over the base and slightly up the sides of a prepared tart dish. Use the back of a tablespoon to create an even crust, then freeze for 10–15 minutes.

Make the Filling

  • Stir the condensed milk and well-drained crushed pineapple together until evenly combined.
  • Add the lemon juice and mix until the filling begins to thicken.
  • Gently fold in the whipped cream, taking care to keep the mixture light and airy.
  • Spoon the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Decorate with a few biscuit crumbs or small pineapple pieces, if desired.
  • Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, until completely set. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

The yield is estimated at 8 servings and may vary according to the size of the tart dish. Drain the pineapple thoroughly to prevent a loose filling. Keep refrigerated until serving.
