  2. Whisk the sugar, orange juice and zest, orange blossom water, eggs and egg yolks together in a bowl until well combined.

  4. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring regularly, until the butter has melted and the mixture has thickened.

  5. Pour the mixture into the cooked pastry case , cover with clingfilm (to prevent a skin forming) and set aside to cool.

  8. To serve, slice the tart and serve with double cream or custard.
