Yield Serves 6 with leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 11

For shell
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
4 cups coarsely broken gingersnaps (about 3/4 of a 16-ounce box)
1/3 cup sugar
3 cups pie weights or raw rice for weighting shell
1 1/2 pints superpremium vanilla ice cream
For pineapple sauce
1 ripe pineapple (preferably Del Monte Gold)
1/2 cup sugar
Special equipment:
a 10- by 1-inch round fluted tart pan with a removable bottom

Steps:

  • Make shell:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Melt butter. In a food processor grind gingersnaps to fine crumbs and add butter and sugar, pulsing until blended.
  • Sprinkle 1 cup (not packed) crumb mixture over bottom of tart pan and press with an offset spatula. Sprinkle 1/2 cup crumb mixture around edge of pan and with your fingers press up side of pan. Carefully line shell with foil, folding over edge to cover crumbs completely, and add pie weights or raw rice. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture in a shallow baking pan.
  • Bake crumb mixture in lower third of oven 12 minutes and bake shell in upper third 20 minutes. Cool crumb mixture in baking pan on a rack and, when crumbs are cool enough to handle, with your fingers break up any large clumps. Cool shell in foil in tart pan on another rack 15 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights or rice and cool shell completely (shell may be soft in center but will firm as it cools). Soften ice cream slightly and fold in half of crumb mixture. Spoon ice-cream mixture into shell, smoothing top, and sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture. Freeze tart until ice cream is firm, about 2 hours. Tart keeps, frozen and loosely covered, 3 days.
  • Make sauce:
  • Cut rind from pineapple and quarter pineapple lengthwise. Cut off core and cut pineapple quarters crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. In a dry 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan cook sugar over moderately low heat, stirring slowly with a fork (to help sugar melt evenly), until melted and pale golden. Cook caramel, without stirring and gently swirling pan, until golden. Remove pan from heat and add pineapple (mixture will vigorously steam and caramel will harden). Simmer mixture, stirring, 5 minutes, or until caramel is dissolved, and cool sauce to room temperature. Chill sauce, covered, at least 2 hours and up to 5 days.
  • Serve tart with sauce.

This tart is the worst dessert I've ever had. It's dry, bland, and flavorless. I would not recommend it to anyone. ⭐

This tart is way too complicated to make. I spent hours in the kitchen and the end result was not worth it. ⭐

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tart turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure why it didn't turn out well. ⭐⭐

This tart was a disaster! The crust was too dry, the ice cream was too icy, and the pineapple sauce was too runny. I would not recommend this recipe. ⭐

I'm not a huge fan of ginger, but I really enjoyed this tart. The crust was perfectly balanced by the creamy ice cream and tangy pineapple sauce. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
