Almond Tart: Dairy free version

 If you love almond, you should try this recipe ^^.

Well, I'm the one who's crazy for it. I use it in many recipe and love to eat it on its own too.  The richness of almond is not only in taste but it's full of vitamin E and antioxidants too, so I think I can say that this tart is good for your health, hehe. 
There is no dairy product in this recipe, not only that people who's allergic to dairy can eat it happily, but shortening makes the pastry more delicious too. Because shortening is 100% fat, so the pastry is more crispy than using butter (butter has about 82% fat + water and milk segment), and because of the fat the pasty is very easy to make as you don't have to be worry about overworking the dough.  
Ps. For baking blind, if you don't have baking bean, you can use uncooked rice or bean instead, ^^.
