The weather is starting to warm up and it's a perfect time to enjoy one of my family's favorite desserts. Ice cream cream puffs are best eaten while they are still warm and topped with lots of chocolate drizzle.

In high school, I took two home economics classes. Both involved cooking but one was only desserts and the other was only entrees. Most of the meals I would recreate for my parents and there are many of those recipes that I still cook today. 

Click to tweet: A spring classic - ice cream cream puffs

During the desserts class, we made cream puffs. It was my first experience with creams puffs and I wasn't all that impressed. I told my Dad that we made them and he was thrilled. He grew up eating cream puffs from a place in Michigan that apparently had AMAZING cream puffs. 

I made them often for my Dad and we loved filling them with all different types of ice cream and chocolate drizzle. It was fun to hear all of his childhood stories while we experimented with different flavor ice creams. 

When I learned about the new flavors that Blue Bunny® came out with, I knew it was an excellent excuse to make my famous cream puffs. The PB 'N Cones™ seemed like a great choice to pair with the soft cream puff. Plus nothing screams warmer weather like vanilla ice cream with swirls of creamy peanut butter and chocolate dipped cone pieces!

I picked up a few of the other flavors to stock the fridge. It's so convenient that Blue Bunny® products are available at Walmart stores nationwide. Don't forget about the super delicious ice cream cakes that Blue Bunny® has to offer.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family has. I can't wait for LadyBug to be old enough to enjoy spring and summer treats!
