- -The evening before, prepare the pastry:

- -Next day:
- Take wedges out of the oranges. Take off thin skins and discard. Drain. Chop the hazlenuts finely.
- In a bowl, mix eggs and thickening agent, sugar, fresh cream, jam and hazlenuts. Carefully add the the orange wedges. Leave inside refrigerator.
- Divide the pastry into two parts, one made up of two thirds, the other one of one third.
- Let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Make 4 circles with the first two thirds about 5 mm thick and spread them inside tart molds leaving the pastry coming over the brim.
- Stab pastry with a fork.
- Keep inside refrigerator for 30 more minutes.
- Take out of refrigerator. Fill tarts with the orange cream up to two thirds of its depth.
