Pineapple Crush Dessert Tart Recipe
This beloved pineapple crush dessert, especially in summer, when the creamy filling and zesty pineapple create the perfect refreshing bite. The secret to this tart’s smooth, velvety texture is Nestlé Cremora, adding a lovely creaminess that pairs beautifully with the tangy lemon juice and sweet condensed milk. The crushed pineapple gives it a juicy burst of flavour, while the classic Tennis biscuit base adds a buttery, crunchy contrast. It’s quick, simple, and sure to be a hit
Ingredients
- 250 g Nestlé Cremora powder
- 125 ml cold water
- 1 tin 385g condensed milk
- 125 ml lemon juice
- 230 g cream cheese softened
- 1 tin about 200g crushed pineapple, drained (remove as much syrup as possible)
- 2 packets 200g each Tennis biscuits

Instructions
- Crush biscuits in a zip-lock bag. Add the crushed biscuits into a mixing bowl and mix with the melted butter.

- In a bowl, mix the Nestlé Cremora powder and cold water until smooth.
- Switch to an electric beater and drizzle in the lemon juice. You will instantly feel the mixture starting to thicken.
- Sweeten with the condensed milk.
