Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ganache:

   • Start by heating the heavy cream in a saucepan until it is hot but not boiling.
   • Chop the white chocolate into small pieces and place it in a bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate in three separate additions, stirring gently with a spatula each time to ensure the chocolate melts completely.
   • Once the chocolate is fully melted, add the softened butter in small cubes and stir until the butter has melted and combined with the ganache.

2. Divide the Ganache and Add Coloring:

   • Divide the ganache into two bowls. Add red food coloring to one of the bowls and mix until you achieve a vibrant red color. Adjust the amount of food coloring as needed to get the perfect shade of red.

3. Fill the Piping Bags:

   • Transfer the ganache mixtures into separate piping bags: one for the plain white ganache and the other for the red ganache. Set them aside.

4. Prepare the White Chocolate for Decoration:

   • In a separate saucepan, melt the remaining 400g of white chocolate over low heat. Set aside for later.

5. Assemble the Mummy Pavesini:

   • Lay out the Pavesini biscuits on a clean surface. Using the piping bags, pipe a strip of white ganache down the center of each Pavesini. Follow this by a strip of red ganache on top, creating a mummy-like appearance.
   • Insert a small wooden stick into one end of each biscuit, ensuring it is placed securely. This will help with handling and decorating the Pavesini later.

6. Chill to Set:

   • Once all the Pavesini biscuits are assembled, place them in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes, allowing the ganache to firm up.

7. Coat with White Chocolate:

   • After the Pavesini have chilled and the ganache has set, dip the ends of the sticks into the melted white chocolate. This will help to further secure the structure and give the Pavesini a glossy finish.

8. Decorate with White Chocolate Stripes:

   • Fill a piping bag with the remaining white chocolate and carefully pipe thin strips across each Pavesini, mimicking the bandages of a mummy. This adds the finishing touch to your spooky dessert!

9. Add Eyes:

   • Finally, place small colored sugar candies on the top of each Pavesini to serve as the mummy’s eyes. You can add them on both sides for a fun, symmetrical look.

10. Chill Again:

    • Place the decorated Pavesini back in the fridge for a few more minutes to let everything set properly.

Your Mummy Pavesini is now ready to serve! These adorable and spooky treats are perfect for Halloween or any fun-themed gathering, and they’re sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike. Enjoy the delicious combination of white chocolate and colorful ganache, all wrapped up in a fun mummy design!
