The mummy tart may seem a classic tart but, as the little eyes of the little monsters hide between the pastry and the jam, the tart hides a non ordinary preparation, it is in fact made with a gluten-free and vegan shortcrust pastry, therefore without butter. This shortcrust pastry seems to be having no hopes when it comes to rolling, do keep a little hope instead because, despite being initially crumbly, it becomes compact by kneading for a longer time obtaining a shortcrust pastry very similar to a regular one. For the filling, I chose strawberry jam from the farm Dal Contadino a Casa Tua, really delicious and the deep red color recalls blood which is perfect for the theme. To make the tart "halloweenesque" just place the strips of pastry to imitate the bandages of a mummy and use meringues for the eyes of the little monsters, for the pupils I used a bit of left over chocolate from other preparations. Et voilà, a nice treat for adults and children, perfect to amaze with simplicity.
Happy Halloween!
