Ingredients

1 package red velvet cake mix (regular size)
1 quart blue moon ice cream, softened
3 cups heavy whipping cream
1-1/2 cups marshmallow creme
Red, white and blue sprinkles
Blue colored sugar

Directions

Prepare cake mix batter according to package directions for cupcakes.
Fill paper-lined muffin cups half full. Bake at 350° for 11-14 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
Working quickly, spread ice cream over cupcakes. Freeze for at least 1 hour.
In a large bowl, combine cream and marshmallow creme; beat until stiff peaks form. Pipe over cupcakes; decorate with sprinkles and colored sugar. Freeze for 4 hours or until firm. Yield: 3 dozen.

I made them, the ice cream part was stressful and they tasted "okay" kind of a dsappointment because I thought it sounded great

This are not very easy to make or tasty but they look pretty! I probably would not make these again.

If you don't have access to Blue Moon ice cream, you could instead use vanilla ice cream and dye the whipped cream blue.

Blue Moon Ice Cream is almost exclusively available in the upper Midwest region...which is why so many of us have never heard of it. ::sigh::

I have never heard of "blue moon" ice cream. What is it?

It might be fun to make these cupcakes in an ice cream cone, so that people could eat them like a traditional cone but with a "surprise" in the middle.
