FOR TART: Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 350F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 14-inch-diameter round. Roll up on rolling pin and transfer to 9-inch diameter tart pan with removable bottoms and 2-ionch-high sides. Gently press dough into place, patching where necessary.

Puree ricotta and cream cheese in processor. Blend in sugar and honey. Add eggs 1 at a time, blending after each addition. Add cream, orange peel and orange flower water; blend. Pour into crust (Filling will not come up to top of crust, but6 crust will shrink to fit.)

Bake tart until filling is golden, edge of filling begins to crack and small sharp knife inserted into filling 2 inches from edge comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)

FOR COMPOTE: Using sharp knife, cut peel and white pith from oranges.

Working over bowl to catch juices, cut between membranes to release segments. Add segments to bowl. Add strawberries, sugar, honey, orange flower water and orange peel; mix to blend. Let stand about 5 minutes.

Serve with tart.
