Pineapple tarts are small, bite-size pastries filled with or topped with pineapple jam, popular in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei.

The pastry consists of a large proportion of butter and egg yolk, besides using cornstarch, giving it a rich, buttery, tender and melt-in-the-mouth texture.

Considered a "festive cookie", pineapple tarts are usually consumed during the Chinese New Year season and also Hari Raya.
