Now, we're not claiming this treat actually originates from Wales – but that is what we call it! Made from profiterole pastry, topped with custard, fresh berries and chopped dark chocolate. Enjoy!

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees fan assisted.

2. Add the water to a large pot and heat along with the butter until melted.

3. Add flour and salt and stir well, so you have a firm, lump free pastry. Switch off the heat and let the pastry cool.

4. Once you can stick a finger in the pastry without burning yourself, add one egg at a time while stirring. Once the pastry is smooth and lump free, add it to a piping or freezer bag and cut a hole in the corner.

5. Pipe the pastry onto a sheet pan lined with baking parchment. You can either do a full Welsh eclair, where you pipe the pastry into a rectangle – or do traditional profiteroles, by piping the pastry out into golf ball sized pearls. Or perhaps even both!

6. Bake your pastry for about 20 minutes, until beautifully golden on top – it's vital that you don't open the oven while it's baking, or the pastry will deflate.

7. Remove the sheet pan and cut a small hole into the baked pastry, to release the steam – to prevent deflating. Let cool.

8. Meanwhile, make the custard. Whisk egg and corn flour in a pot. Whisk the very best you know, to get rid of all lumps.

9. Add milk, vanilla sugar, cane sugar and salt and bring the custard to the boil while stirring. As it nears the boiling point, it thickens – and you'll need to whisk as though you stand to win a month long summer holiday! Let boil (while still whisking) for about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and let the custard cool. Pop it outside if you like, it'll cool quicker.

10. Whisk the cream into softly whipped cream. Once the custard cools, gently mix whipped cream and custard.

11. Add to a freezer or piping bag with a star shaped tip. Cut a hole in the corner and pipe onto the Welsh eclair – or into the profiteroles, if you decided to keep it classic. Top with berries and chopped chocolate.

12. Woohoo, finally time to serve. Enjoy!
