Ingredients

• 2 sheets Sugar-free puff pastry sheets
• 500 ml Whole milk
• 40 grams Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Sugar-free vanilla extract
• 40 grams Powdered erythritol
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 60 grams Sugar-free powdered sweetener (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit blend)
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 drops Natural food coloring (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lay the puff pastry sheets flat on the prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to lightly poke holes across the surface to prevent puffing during baking.

Step 3

Bake the puff pastry for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat, bringing it close to a simmer. Do not let it boil.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cornstarch, powdered erythritol, and a small splash of the warm milk to create a smooth paste.

Step 6

While whisking continuously, slowly pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining milk.

Step 7

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a custard. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 8

Transfer the custard to a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap (press it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and let it cool completely in the refrigerator.

Step 9

Once the puff pastry is cool, trim the edges for evenness if necessary, and then cut each sheet into 6 equal rectangles to create 12 pieces total.

Step 10

To assemble, spread a thick layer of the cooled custard onto 6 of the puff pastry rectangles. Top each with the remaining 6 pastry rectangles to form sandwiches.

Step 11

For the glaze, mix the sugar-free powdered sweetener with the water and optional natural food coloring to form a smooth, spreadable icing.

Step 12

Carefully spread the glaze on top of each assembled tompouce. Allow the glaze to set for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 13

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Enjoy your sugar-free tompouce!
