Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and granulated erythritol. Add the cold butter and cream cheese, then use your hands or a pastry cutter to incorporate the ingredients until a crumbly dough forms.
Add one egg to the dough mixture and knead until smooth. Form a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it is about 3 mm thick. Cut the dough into 16 equal rectangular pieces (approximately 10 cm x 5 cm each). Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the pastry rectangles for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let them cool completely before handling.
To prepare the custard filling, whisk together the almond milk, heavy cream, three egg yolks, 40 g of erythritol, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Heat the mixture on medium-low, stirring continuously until slightly thickened.
Sprinkle the gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Stir the gelatin into the warm custard until fully dissolved. Refrigerate the custard for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally, until it thickens further.
Whip the remaining erythritol with the custard using a hand mixer until it becomes smooth and creamy.
To assemble the tompouce, pipe or spread the custard filling onto 8 of the pastry rectangles. Top them with the remaining 8 pastry pieces to create a sandwich.
For the icing, whisk together powdered erythritol, water, and a drop of pink food coloring, if desired. Spread the icing onto the top layer of each tompouce. Let it set before serving.
Optionally, add a small dollop of sugar-free strawberry jam under the icing for a fruity layer. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
