A tompoes or tompouce is a pastry in The Netherlands. It is the local variety of the mille-feuille or Napoleon, introduced by an Amsterdam pastry baker and named after Admiraal Tom Pouce, the stage name of the Frisian dwarf Jan Hannema.
Tompouce consists of thin layers of puff pastry filled with a rich cream. It is typically topped with a sweet, vibrant pink glaze, although it can occasionally be white. Some versions also feature a stripe of whipped cream piped down the center.
