Ingredients
For the Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
For the Butterbeer
- 2 liters cream soda (well chilled)
- 5 tablespoons butterscotch topping
- 2 tablespoons butter extract
- ⅓ cup butterscotch topping (for drizzling on top)
Instructions
Making the Whipped Cream
- Step 1:
- Begin by pouring 1 cup of heavy cream into a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Step 2:
- Gradually add 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar to the whipped cream, continuing to beat until the sugar is fully incorporated and the cream is smooth and slightly firm. Set the whipped cream aside.
Preparing the Butterbeer
- Step 1:
- In a large pitcher, pour 1 cup of the well-chilled cream soda. This helps to dissolve the ingredients more easily and ensures a smooth mixture.
- Step 2:
- Add 5 tablespoons of butterscotch topping and 2 tablespoons of butter extract to the cream soda. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the butterscotch topping and butter extract are fully dissolved and well combined.
- Step 3:
- Once the mixture is smooth, gradually add the remaining cream soda to the pitcher, stirring gently to maintain the carbonation.
- Step 4:
- Pour the Butterbeer into 8-ounce glasses, filling each glass to about three-quarters full.
- Step 5:
- Top each glass with a generous dollop of the prepared whipped cream.
- Step 6:
- Drizzle a small amount of butterscotch topping over the whipped cream for an extra touch of sweetness.
