Recipe Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:

   • Whip 500ml of double cream with 60g of sugar and 15g of vanilla sugar until it forms soft peaks.

2. Prepare the Choux Pastry:

   • Sift the flour and salt together.
   • In a saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil.
   • Add the flour and salt mixture, stirring until well combined.
   • Remove from heat and beat in one egg at a time, ensuring thorough incorporation.
   • Beat the remaining egg separately and add it to the mixture until velvety consistency is achieved.
   • Beat the pastry until fluffy and shining.

3. Shape and Bake:

   • Using two spoons dipped in water, create eight ball-shaped heaps on a well-greased baking tin.
   • Bake in a preheated oven at 200-225°C for 30-40 minutes until golden and puffy. Avoid opening the oven door for the first 20 minutes.
   • Allow the choux puffs to cool for about 5 minutes in the oven with the door open before transferring them to a wire rack.

4. Prepare the Icing:

   • Mix icing sugar, cocoa, and warm water, stirring until thick and slightly fluid.
   • Dip the tops of the filled choux puffs in the icing, ensuring a smooth coverage.
   • Place the Moorkoppen on a wire rack with a plate underneath and let them sit for about 30 minutes until the icing hardens.

5. Fill and Decorate:

   • Make a cut in the sides of the puffs and pipe in the prepared cream.
   • Reserve some cream for decorating the top.
   • Pipe a puff of the remaining cream on each pastry and adorn it with a piece of fruit.
