Ingredients

Pine Lime Curd

Yoghurt Pots

Method

Pine Lime Curd

  • Place pineapple rings and juice into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve and discard pulp. Measure out ⅔ cup of the pineapple juice
  • Place egg yolks, egg and sugar into a saucepan and whisk until combined. Stir in ⅔ cup pineapple juice and 1 tbsp lime juice. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring for 2-3 minutes until sugar has dissolved and mixture begins to thicken
  • Reduce heat to low and gradually add butter, 3-4 pieces at a time, whisking continuously until melted. Continue until mixture thickens and all the butter has been added. Curd is ready when it coats the back of a spoon. Pour into a clean bowl and stir through lime zest
  • Cover the curd surface with plastic wrap to prevent it from forming a skin. Let cool to room temperature then refrigerate until cold

Tips & Hints:

  • This curd can be made with fresh pineapple, but it will produce a very loose and pourable curd. To substitute fresh pineapple, process 300g pineapple flesh and strain through a fine sieve for approx. 200ml juice. Follow the recipe as above.
  • Adjust sweetness and consistency by adding more of the reserved pineapple juice and lime juice.
  • Make the curd in a nonreactive saucepan, such as stainless steel.
  • This curd can be made in the microwave. Follow the method for ‘Easy Microwave Lemon Curd’.
  • Spoon curd into airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

Yoghurt Pots

  • Dip 4 sponge fingers quickly into rum or orange juice, turning to coat
  • Break fingers in half. Place 2 half fingers in the bottom of each serving glass
  • Spoon over a heaped tbsp of pine lime curd into each glass, to cover the sponge fingers
  • Dollop over some of the coconut yoghurt and top with raspberries and pineapple. Repeat layers one more time
  • Garnish the top with lime zest. Refrigerate until serving

Tips & Hints:

  • Pots can be prepared at least 3 hours ahead of serving
  • Use any fruit in season
  • Substitute coconut yoghurt with coconut ice cream or gelato
