Choux Pastry Cup Cake

Has any one made choux pastry cup cakes?
Or even thought about  how a choux pastry cup cake would turn out?
Wow! this is one of the delicious cup cake I have ever tasted,with this special filling with Jaggery.
Jaggery is made from a special palm tree in Asian country.It is pure honey  made in to a shape of half a coconut.I pulled out the frozen jaggery from my freezer,which looks like a meat loaf..ha ha.I can not buy this in Germany ,so I have them frozen for any special occasion.
I know every one can not get Jaggery ,so try it with sugar,which is much better than bees honey.

Spoon in one and a half table spoon to each cup.While baking this arises like a monster cup cake.Do not open the oven until it is done.It takes about 30-35 minutes to bake.If you have a glass door on  your oven ,you could see the monster cup cake rising!! If not am sorry ...please check the oven temperature.

I scraped the coconut freshly at home,with my little coconut scraper....oh am so happy to have this.
Used my stone grinder to grind the cardamons in to small bits.
Now  I put the jaggery in a pan and let it slowly melt on slow fire. (If you are using honey or even suger do not add water.)At this point add the fresh coconut keep stirring,add salt and cardamons.Keep stirring until it becomes thick and  detached from the  sides of the pan.It is the same way if you use honey or sugar.Don't let it over cook,then it becomes hard.



Filling

Heat milk and icing sugar together  in a slow flame.
