Tompouce - Dutch Dessert

Introducing a typical Dutch sweet (Dutch Dessert) known as Tompouce (Pronounce as Tum - pus). We bought in a Watson look alike pharmacy. I AM NOT KIDDING! There is a section in the store that sells all kinds of pastries, cakes and tarts. I had to asked my friend if he took me to the right place.

According to Wikipedia:-

Tompouce must be rectangular, with two layers of puff pastry. The icing is smooth and pink or occasionally white. For many years however, the top layer has been orange on Koninginnedag (Queen's Day), and a few days before. It may also be orange-coloured when the national football team plays in large international tournaments; this dates from about 1990. The filling is invariably very sweet, yellow pastry cream. Tompouce are sometimes topped with whipped cream. Variations with different fillings or with jelly are comparatively rare and are not called tompoes. 

I was told that Tompouce are usually served with tea or coffee. Being a coffee lover, I opted for coffee (it's a no brainer choice). Not quite sure what coffee my friends make for me, it was delicious (trust me, it's definitely not Nescafe). Taking my coffee pure black together with Tompouce, is just perfect. I love the fresh cream in between the thin pastry which tasted very much like custard. It wasn't too sweet at all. If you are ever in The Netherlands, this is a must try! 

Big thanks to Janneke & Martijn that introduced this to me :)

Dank je wel!
