How to Make Dutch Moorkoppen
- **Prepare the Cream Filling:** In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream with granulated sugar and vanilla sugar (or extract) until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- **Make the Chocolate Icing:** In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Gradually add the warm water, stirring until a smooth, glossy icing forms. Set aside.
- **Prepare the Choux Pastry:** Sift together the flour and salt.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water and butter to a rolling boil over medium heat.
- Remove from heat and add the flour mixture all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms.
- Return the pan to low heat and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to dry out the dough slightly.
- Transfer the dough to a large bowl. Let it cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until fully incorporated. The batter should be smooth and glossy.
- **Pipe the Pastry:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using two spoons dipped in water, scoop out portions of the dough and create small mounds (about 2 inches in diameter) on the prepared baking sheet.
- **Bake:** Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Do not open the oven door during the first 20 minutes! Leave them in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 5 minutes after the initial baking time before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
- **Fill and Decorate:** Once cooled, use a piping bag or a knife to make a slit in the side of each puff and fill generously with the whipped cream. Pipe a small amount of cream on top.
- Dip the tops of the filled puffs into the chocolate icing, twisting slightly to coat evenly. Place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow the icing to set for about 30 minutes.
- **Garnish:** Top with a piece of fresh fruit. Serve and enjoy!
