Although there are many varieties of mille feuille pastries from different cultures, this Tompouce is the Dutch version. It features two layers of flaky pastry sandwiched around thick pastry cream filling. Its pink (or sometimes orange) glaze provides a unique aesthetic and a sweet finish.

2 egg yolks
1 ½ cups (355 ml) milk
⅓ cup (65 grams) granulated sugar
⅓ cup (40 grams) cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract
8 to 9 ounces (1 sheet) puff pastry
Glaze:
100 grams (about 1 cup) confectioners’ (powdered) sugar
1 ½ tablespoons water
1 drop (or as needed) red, pink, or orange food coloring (or a combination of red and yellow to make orange)
