Step 8
Bake in a preheated 180 °C oven for about an hour. The edges of the pie should turn golden‑brown, the cream will develop a rosy crust, but the center will still wobble slightly. Cool the finished pie in a slightly opened oven, then let it cool completely on a rack and refrigerate for at least three to four hours.

Take out the cake and decorate it on top with tangerines, having peeled them and removed all membranes. You can use canned tangerines in syrup, draining it first. Based on the syrup you can make a jelly and pour it over the cake.
