Vegan Tompouce - Dutch Mille Feuille

Premium

Dessert

10 ingredients or less
This iconic pastry, inspired by the French mille-feuille, has been a Dutch favorite since the 1800s. It’s known for its flaky layers, creamy custard filling, and signature pink glaze - though the glaze turns orange during Dutch national celebrations like King's Day or major sporting events to reflect the national colour of the Netherlands. But be warned: eating a tompouce can get deliciously messy! Some people dive in with a fork, others bite straight in (and deal with the squish), while some separate the layers to keep it clean. However you eat it, it’s always a delicious treat!

We surprised everyone with these typical Dutch treats, especially non vegan people were amazed and called it pastry worthy to the pastry shop! Even though we overdid the custard a bit, which created tiny clumps after pressing it through the sieve. However, you didn't notice it in the pastry anymore. I guess we should have taken the custard a bit earlier off the stove to make it less dense. All in all, great recipe! We will try to make orange ones with kings day!

Why to press it with plastic till it cool off completely?
Plastic even when at normal room temp is mixing in food n getting into blood stream,, on heated surface is like.. 🙏

Hey there, Aakanksha! Thanks for sharing the thoughts 🤗 The cling film is only meant to touch the surface to prevent a rubbery layer that can form on top of custard as it cools. You can use parchment paper instead if you prefer.

I made them today and they were really great 😍 A very good vegan alternative for the tompouce you can buy in the store. Perfect for Kingsday!

Just made this for my partner who hasn't had a custard/creme slice since before he became vegan (10 years) and he was so so happy. Didn't have icing sugar so made a sugar syrup/drizzle and no stabiliser so used a couple of teaspoons of potaot starch which worked out great! Really great and easy recipe!
