Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C.
- In a small bowl mix the egg yolk, water and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- Add the flour, sugar, salt and butter to a food processor. Pulse until small crumbs are formed. With the food processor running, add the egg and water mixture through the feed tube until it comes together in a ball. If it seems like it is not coming together, drizzle in a small amount of cold water until it forms a ball. Remove the dough and wrap in plastic wrap for 10-15 minutes, or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
- Using a piece of parchment paper larger than the tart pan, lightly flour the paper and roll out the dough using a rolling pin until you get a circle that is slightly larger than your tart pan.
- Lift the dough using the parchment paper and lay the dough into the tart pan and it press up the sides. Use a rolling pin over the pan to cut off excess dough. Prick the entire dough with a fork evenly to prevent the dough bubbling. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Set aside and allow to cool.
- In a medium saucepan, stir together the milk and sugar over medium heat bring to a boil.
- While the milk is coming to a boil, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and egg. Stir the cornstarch into the eggs until smooth. Whisk 1/3 cup of the hot milk into the egg mixture. This will temper the eggs and stop them from curdling or cooking. Add the rest of the milk slowly to the egg mixture while whisking.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan over low heat stir the mixture constantly stirring so the eggs don't burn on the bottom of the pan, until thickened. Once the custard has thickened, remove from the heat. Stir in the the vanilla and mix until well incorporated. Transfer the custard into a glass storage dish and put plastic wrap directly on top of the custard to prevent a skin. Cover with a lid and refrigerate until ready to use. Can last up to 1 week refrigerated.
- Add the cooled custard to the cooled tart shell and smooth the top and spread to the edges. Top with the berries.

Steps:
- Make the custard: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and milk. Cover with plastic wrap.
- Cook the custard in a microwave for 4 minutes, stirring after every 2 minutes until very smooth. Re-cover with plastic wrap, pressing onto the surface of the cream to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the fridge until cool, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the pastry: In a medium saucepan, bring the water, butter, and salt to a boil over medium heat.
- As soon as the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the flour. Using a wooden spoon, mix thoroughly to combine.
- Continue stirring (about two minutes). The dough should form into a ball and easily pull away from the sides of the pan. Remove the mixture from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Add 4 of the eggs to the cooled dough, one at a time, being sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next. (The eggs will initially be difficult to incorporate into the dough, but continue stirring vigorously and they will eventually come together to form a smooth, shiny dough. When the dough drops making a V shape, it is ready!)
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag and pipe onto the baking sheet in an 7-inch (17-cm) ring shape. Pipe a second ring outside the first ring. Pipe a final ring on top. Beat the remaining egg, then brush over the ring.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Then, without opening the oven, reduce the heat to 350˚F(180˚C) and bake for another 15 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and leave the puff pastry inside for another 10 minutes.
- Cut the choux pastry in half horizontally. Pipe the custard into the hollow center of the shell. Pipe whipped cream on top of the custard. Top with berries. Place the top half of the shell. Dust with powdered sugar.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- For a crispier puff pastry, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
- To prevent the custard from curdling, temper the eggs by slowly whisking them with a small amount of hot milk before adding them to the rest of the custard mixture.
- For a richer custard, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you don't have fresh berries, you can use frozen berries that have been thawed and drained.
- Serve the berry custard puffs immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for later.
