Steps:
- Make pastry:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Toast nuts in 1 layer in a shallow baking pan in oven, stirring once or twice, until golden, about 5 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a rack. Coarsely chop 1/4 cup nuts and set aside.
- Pulse flour, sugar, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup nuts in a food processor until nuts are finely chopped, then add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add egg and process until dough begins to come together into a ball but is still crumbly. Form dough into a ball with your hands. Press about 1 tablespoon dough evenly over bottom and up side of each pie plate. Chill shells until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Lightly prick bottoms and sides of chilled pie shells all over with a fork.
- Bake until edges are golden and bottoms are pale golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Cool completely in pans on racks. Loosen edges of shells carefully with offset spatula, then carefully remove shells from pans and transfer to a shallow baking pan. Sprinkle chopped nuts into bottoms of shells. Leave oven on.
- Make filling:
- Simmer butter, pineapple, brown sugar, and lemon juice in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is evaporated and pineapple is slightly translucent, about 10 minutes.
- Cool slightly, then spoon a heaping tablespoon of filling into each shell.
- Make meringue topping:
- Beat whites with cream of tartar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until they just hold soft peaks. Gradually beat in sugar and beat until meringue holds stiff, glossy peaks. Spoon about 2 tablespoons meringue over filling of each pie, covering filling completely and sealing meringue to pastry.
- Draw meringue up into small peaks and bake until tops are golden in spots, about 5 minutes.
- Cool pies on racks, about 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE CARAMELIZED MACADAMIA NUTS
Steps:
- Chocolate Ring:
- Begin by melting the milk and white chocolate. Cut 4 sterilized, food-safe flexible plastic strips 1 1/2 inches wide and 5 inches long. Spread a thin layer of milk chocolate on the plastic strips. Using the tine of a fork, scrape the length of the strip through the chocolate to create lines. Spread a layer of white chocolate immediately, directly over and then fold to form a ring. Seal edge with a plastic strip. Set aside to harden.
- Preheat the oven to 360 degrees F.
- Mix the sponge by whisking the eggs and sugar on high speed for 15 minutes, until pale yellow and thick. Take out of the mixer and fold in by hand the sifted flour, chopped macadamia nuts, and melted butter. Spread thinly on a buttered, floured and parchment lined baking tray and bake for 15 minutes.
- Lower the oven to 340 degrees F.
- To roast pineapple, begin by cutting the pineapple into grape size pieces and then toss in sugar and spices. Bake for 2 hours. Let cool.
- To caramelize the macadamia nuts, first warm the nuts in the oven for 5 minutes. While nuts are warming, place the sugar in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar melts and turns an amber color, about 10 minutes. Carefully add the nuts to the sugar mixture and stir to coat the nuts. Carefully remove from the pan and cool on a marble table or baking tray.
- To make mousse, boil the milk, remove from the heat and add the gelatin while mixing in the white chocolate. Cool down slightly before folding in the whipped cream.
- To make the jelly, melt the gelatin with the mango puree and strain into a container for future use.
- To plate, place a circle of sponge in the base of the chocolate ring, sprinkle with chopped caramelized macadamias. Pipe 1/3 of the cup with mousse; place a spoonful of pineapple mix, top with mousse and a layer of mango jelly. Place in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. Once chilled, remove the plastic strip, top with caramelized macadamia nuts and macadamia sponge.
- Serve immediately.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh pineapple. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well.
- Toast the macadamia nuts before adding them to the pie filling. This will enhance their flavor and give them a nice crunch.
- Use a deep-dish pie plate to ensure that the filling doesn't spill over.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to prevent the crust from over-browning.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
