This amigurumi pattern makes an open-faced pineapple tart amigurumi.

This pattern is fairly easy and quick to make, but the tart base part can be a little challenging for a new beginner. It consists of 2 parts, each part is worked in the round.

The finished amigurumi measures around 4.2cm across and 2cm high.

The amigurumi was inspired by a local favourite, the pineapple tart. Also known as kueh tair to Peranakans, kuih tart or tart nenas to Malays, and kue nastar to Indonesians, the pineapple tart is a bite-sized snack consisting of a shortcrust pastry base topped with pineapple jam. The jam is made by slowly reducing grated pineapple with sugar and a mix of spices (cinnamon, star anise, cloves).

The plain looking pineapple tart was formed from the confluence of local, Portuguese and Dutch colonial influences in the Malay archipelago. The pineapple tart is a popular festive staple in Southeast Asia, especially during Chinese New Year.
