Homemade Belgian Tompouces
Nothing more delicious as making your own pastries. Just like this classic one, at least in Belgium and The Netherlands it’s a classic one, the tompouce. It’s puff pastry filled with pudding and topped with icing.
I made them with slices of frozen puff pastry, which I always have in my freezer. You never know that the craving for a pastry suddenly pops up, lol….
I also made the pudding for the tompouces myself, you can use store bought pudding, but for me personally nothing beats homemade pudding. It is also super easy to make.
What do you need?
- 5 square slices of puff pastry (frozen)
- 300 ml (10,5 oz) homemade pudding (half of the recipe)
- 20 gr (0,70 oz) Melted butter
For the icing
- 80 gr (2,8 oz) icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons of milk
How to make it?
Preheat the oven to 200 °C or 390 °F (180 °C or 360 °F hot air). Take a baking tray and cover it with baking paper.
Let the 5 slices of puff pastry thaw and then cut them in half so that you get 10 pieces.
Place them on the baking paper and brush with melted butter.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
Take them out and let them cool on a wire rack.
In the meantime you can make the icing.
Take a bowl and combine the icing ingredients. Mix until you get frosting. It should not be too running, then you have to add a little icing sugar.
Brush Icing on top of 5 pieces of puff pastry. Put 2-3 tablespoons of pudding on the bottom pieces.
Place a slice of iced puff pastry on top of the pudding, but icing side up.
Put the tompouces in the fridge so that the icing can harden or just eat them right away.
Bon Appetit!
