1.Lightly grease six 8cm round shallow tart tins. Cut 12 long strips of baking paper and press 2 into the base of each tin to form a cross. (This will help you remove tarts once they’re set.) Line bases with a circle of baking paper.
-
2.Place gingernut biscuits and almond meal in a food processor and whiz until fine crumbs. Add the butter and whiz until well combined.
-
3.Evenly press biscuit mixture over the base and side of each tin, and chill for 30 minutes until firm.
-
4.Place ricotta, cream, icing sugar, vanilla and lime zest in a bowl and whisk until smooth and combined. Add mascarpone and whisk until just combined. Chill until ready to serve.
-
5.For the caramelised pineapple, heat a medium frypan over high heat, then add the sugar and pineapple. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes until the sugar starts to caramelise and the pineapple is softened slightly. Add rum and cook for 2 minutes or until the liquid has reduced. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

6.To serve, remove tart bases from their cases and spoon ricotta mixture into each base. Top with the pineapple pieces and drizzle with syrup.
