Adding auspicious colours to the well-loved Chinese New Year snacks!
Continuing our superfood colouring 
experiment, we thought to ourselves, how could we not try our Organic Beetroot Powder and Purple Sweet Potato Powder on pineapple tarts?
Here they are!
We did some with egg wash and some without. We prefer the ones without egg wash because they have the powdery wholesome look. Can you spot the difference?
Recipe below for a batch of around 30 pieces.
Ingredients:
- 175g butter50g condensed milk
- 1 egg yolk (use the egg white for egg wash, see below)
- 250g plain flour
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 16g of beetroot powder or purple sweet potato powder from Purple Superfoods
- We use a store bought pineapple paste.
Egg wash (optional) :
- 1 egg white (instead of egg yolk as it may change the red and purple colour)
- 1/2 tsp oil
Step 1
Make the dough and chill in fridge for 30 mins.
Step 2
Roll the pineapple paste into small balls and take a small piece of dough and wrap around it.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 165C while you roll the tarts.
Step 4
Bake at 165C on a lower rack, with an upper rack covered in aluminium foil, for 20 mins.
Step 5
Leave uncovered for 3 mins.
Step 6
Take out from oven and leave to cool.
