Tropical Pineapple-Cream Cheese Tart

Step 1

Heat oven to 450°F. Unroll pie crust on work surface. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar; roll in lightly with rolling pin. Press crust, sugar side up, in bottom and up side of 10- or 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Trim edges if necessary.

Step 2

Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until light golden brown. Reduce oven temperature to 400°F.

Step 3

In small bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add 1/4 cup sugar, the coconut extract and egg; beat until well blended. Pour into partially baked shell. Carefully spoon pineapple over cream cheese mixture. (Pineapple will not completely cover cream cheese.)

Step 4

Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until filling is puffed around edges and set.

Step 5

Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, mix reserved 1/4 cup pineapple liquid and the cornstarch until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until glaze boils and thickens. Spoon pineapple glaze over pineapple. Cool completely, about 1 hour, before serving. Cover and refrigerate any remaining tart.
