These were well like. I used apricot & pineapple preserves as I couldn't fine just pineapple. They were just fine this way. The making of these is very labor intensive. Will not make again unless I have a lot of time.

Big hit at a work Hawaiian party. Used crushed pineapple instead of preserves. Also, I used regular size muffin tins and baked them at 375 for about 25 minutes.

These were okay. The crust fell apart a little bit. They taste good but nothing special.

Excellent! Made these today, exactly as written. Followed a couple of reviews, saying to remove tarts from the pan after 5 minutes - DON'T DO IT - they are too fragile when warm! Let them cool off for 15 minutes or so. Ran a thin paring knife around edges and they came out easy. I would recommend: Making 1" balls of dough, then chilling before molding into cups (I had to keep flouring my finger to keep dough from sticking to it). Also, don't press dough above the top of the cups. Taste is very good!!

Too sweet and impossible to get out in one piece. Not making this one again.

Great recipe. The tart taste is just right with the pineapple on the bottom and coconut layer on top. I just had a few issues with baking this. First the recipe said 3 dozen. I followed the ingredients and came up to 30 tarts. I should have cooled the dough first. With other tarts I made I usually cool it to make it easier to shape with the pan. You can do it right away but I suggest cooling it. When removing the tarts from the pan, it was very difficult. The crust was very flakey. It was delicious but flakey. A few came out easily. I will definitely try this tart again for an upcoming luau party. Just a few things differently then I think it would come out better.

Easy and yummmm! I used normal size muffin pan and it worked just fine. Shape dough like a shallow cup inside the muffin well and put filling inside. No problem removing from pan - I sprayed with cooking oil spray before I put the dough in.

Good. Grease the pans well. You can also use normal muffin sized tins for a larger tart. I actually prefer the larger size, because there is more filling. In the smaller sizes, there is too much of the taste of the crust (which is good), but it overpowers the filling to some extent. Very pretty presentation (see pic).

USE MINI CUPCAKE PAPERS! I made these for a friend's party and I didn't use the papers for half of the batch. Once they cooled, they broke when I took them out and kinda turned into a mess. Also, I used raspberry preserves instead of pineapple. Still very good and got great reviews from my friend.
