Ingredients

Pineapple Jam
  • 4.5 lbs (2kg) pineapple
  • 21 oz (600g) sugar
  • 3 cloves
  • 5 cm (2 inches) cinnamon stick
Pastry Dough
  • 10 oz (¼oz) all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 oz (45g) confectioners' sugar powdered sugar
  • 1.5 oz (45g) milk powder for baking
  • 0.5 oz (15g) cornstarch
  • 7 oz (200g) unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 2 egg yolks
Egg Wash
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1/4 teaspoon condensed milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Using an electric blender, blend the pineapple for about 10 seconds, or until smooth while still retaining a slight texture. Transfer the pineapple to a non-stick pot.
  2. Add the sugar, cloves, and cinnamon stick to a pot and cook the pineapple over medium to low heat for a few hours, stirring continuously, until the liquid evaporates and a golden jam forms. (Using a non-stick pot will prevent burning.) Turn off the heat, spread the jam, and let it cool. You can prepare the jam a day in advance and store it in the fridge.
  3. Sift the flour, sugar, milk powder, and corn flour twice. Using a stand mixer (or a hand mixer), cream the butter and sugar until well combined, light, and fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, continuing to beat well after each addition. Gradually add the flour mixture and beat on low speed using the paddle attachment until everything is well combined.
  4. Work with 50g (about 1¾ oz.) of pastry dough at a time. Roll the dough between two sheets of plastic to form a thin layer (refer to Indochine Kitchen for a step-by-step picture guide). Pipe the pineapple jam on top of the dough, then roll the dough to completely encase the jam.
  5. Use a pair of scissors to cut the dough into 4 cm (1.5 inch) long rolls. Arrange the pineapple rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. At this point, preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F). Combine the egg wash ingredients until well mixed. Brush the tops of the pineapple rolls with the egg wash mixture twice using a small pastry brush. Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 15-20 minutes. Let the rolls cool, then store them in airtight containers.
