Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the puff pastry sheets into 12 equal rectangles (approximately 10 cm x 5 cm each). Place them on the baking sheet, and use a fork to gently prick tiny holes across the surface to prevent excessive puffing.
Bake the pastry sheets for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
While the pastry cools, prepare the high-protein custard filling. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the vanilla protein powder, skim milk, cornstarch, and egg yolks until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a custard-like consistency (this may take 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and honey or maple syrup.
Transfer the custard to a bowl and allow it to cool slightly before folding in the Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
To assemble the tompouce, spread a generous layer of the custard filling onto 6 of the puff pastry rectangles. Top with the remaining 6 pastry rectangles to form neat sandwiches.
For the icing, mix the powdered sugar with a small amount of water (start with 1/2 teaspoon) to create a smooth glaze. Add a drop of food coloring if desired and stir until evenly incorporated.
Spread the icing evenly over the top pastry layer of each tompouce. For a glossy finish, you can blend in the additional Greek yogurt designated for topping with the icing mixture.
Let the icing set for about 10 minutes, then serve. Enjoy your high-protein tompouce as a delightful and nutritious dessert!
