My icing did not work out. Don't know how you could mess it up? We still ate the cupcakes but I will not be making these again.

I made these cupcakes for the 4th of July, as well. I was only able to add about 1 tablespoon of batter to the cupcake liner after filling the fist batch half full. The cakes rose too high to add the ice cream layer. I made one dozen with the ice cream layer and two dozen of the cakes without ice cream layer. I simply added blue food color to Vanilla Bean ice cream which has more flavor than regular vanilla. The frosting was very good and these tasted like mini-ice cream cakes! My family loves holiday treats and these were a perfect mix of ice cream and cake!

I made these for a July 4th gathering. They were a big HIT! I used blue food coloring in vanilla ice cream. Great recipe!  P.S.  I also added a little clear vanilla flavoring in the whipped cream.

These were a hit on the 4th! I would recommend taking them out of the freezer 5-10 minutes early for easier eating. We don't have Blue Moon ice cream here in the D.C. area, but Edy's made a limited edition vanilla with both rasberry and strawberry swirls that worked out very nicely - lacking blue food coloring, I added some of the blue sprinkles into the icing for a pale blue color then decorated the top with the blue sprinkles and also red/white/blue jimmies - they were very cute - and tasty!!

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.
