For the crust, process the walnuts with the orange cookies until you obtain a fine powder. Add the melted butter and mix well. Pour into a 25 cm diameter tart pan and, using your hands, press down until compacted, refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm. Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat the yolks with the sugar and cornstarch until lightened. Set aside. Heat the milk over low heat in a pot, add the vanilla, and when it comes to a boil, temper the yolks with a tablespoon of hot milk. Return the entire yolk mixture to the pot and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Pour into a bowl and let cool. Fill the tart with the cream and decorate with the fruits, then glaze with honey. Refrigerate for about 1 hour or until the cream thickens. Serve.
