Almond Cream and Orange Tart - Recipe image

INGREDIENTS

1 sheet of puff pastry
30 brown sugar
A little flour for rolling out
120 unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of rum
120 sugar
120 almond powder
6 oranges

METHOD

On a lightly floured counter, roll out the puff pastry and lightly press the brown sugar into the pastry with the rolling pin.
In a bowl, place the softened butter, add the eggs with half the sugar, continue by adding the remaining sugar with the rum, and finally the almond powder.
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Butter the baking pan, place the puff pastry in the pan, and fold the edges to create a wall around the pastry. Place parchment paper with a weight on top of the pastry and bake for 25 minutes. Peel the oranges into segments (fillets). Spread the almond cream and the orange segments on top, and bake again until our tart is golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
