The first post of 2017 dedicate to my favourite pineapple tart. Made them into rooster shape since coming CNY is a rooster year.

Hi Sonia, may I know where I can get this red heart shape sugar nips??
Unknown, you can try to get at bakery ingredients shop.
Thanks Sonia, I'll do that. Really love your posts, have been following a few recipes of yours. Love the cinnamon bread, salted eggs and pumpkin cake and the adobo chicken too. Thanks for sharing!

Sonia, I have been following your blog quite some time. These chicks are so adorable. My friend and I made them over the weekend. It was fun to made and delicious to eat. Thanks for sharing such creative idea!!
Just curious Sonia.. will the heart shaped sugar melt when you bake it? Thanks
CrazyGrr, no it will not melt, actually it became hard instead .
Hi Sonia, wondering your first steps what does it mean by cream butter and condensed milk till light? Do u just put those ingredients in a bowl then mix together ? Whisk it ? Sorry for asking stupid question ��
anonymous, dont worry, sorry for my writing it in detail, cream butter and condensed milk means using a electric whisk and beat these two items till pale and fluffy.
Sonia, great to see you back in baking business again lady ! haha.... These cookies look perfect for the coming celebration.
Blessings, Kristy
Hello hellooo.
May i know what butter is used? Salted or unsalted? And how many egg yolks are required? Cos i saw you mentioning adding yolk one at a time. Looking forward to your reply. Thank you
Hi Sonia, I've tried your recipe and my family loves it! I have 1 problem though, I realized that my pineapple paste is too sour and that I should have added more sugar. :( How do I fix it? It's been cooled and stored in the fridge. Can I still throw it back in the pot and add more sugar?
Hi Clara, Sonia uses salted butter for her recipe according to her replies in the original pineapple tart recipe post. The one yolk at a time instruction is for if you were to double the recipe. Hope this helps!
Aria, yes you can add more sugar, then let it cool in room temp again, but this time maybe 2-3days is enough.
Thank you so much Aria!!!
It really helps.
Thanks for your reply Sonia! Will give it a go. Happy CNY!
Thank you for the great recipe. Need to check with you can i prepare the dough one day earlier and keep it in the fridge and if i were to use unsalted butter, then how much salt should i put in.
Thank you.
Annie
Hi Sonia, made this today and they are adorable! Didn't see the part about using salted butter so my pineapple tarts don't taste salty at all. Maybe I should add a little salt next time? Thanks for sharing the recipe and happy chinese new year!
Annie, should be ok to keep one day (better in container and cling wrap it), if possible try to use salted butter, otherwise add about 1/4tsp salt.
Thank you so much for your recipe! I had so much fun making them! They are so very cute!!
However I placed the comb perpendicular to how u placed them in your photos and put some heart shaped chips upside down under the beak for the wattles.
Me and my family are loving the pineapple tarts very much!Happy CNY!
Finally learnt to bake pineapple tarts using your recipe and they turned out perfect - just the way I love them! My parents and in-laws like them too. Thanks Sonia for your wonderful recipe and photos to show how they are done. - Jancy
Hi sonia is the temp fan force or normal convection mode?
Anonymous, use normal conventions mode , anyway adjust accordingly as different oven work differently.
