Easy Non-Alcoholic Harry Potter Butterbeer (Print version)
A fizzy, creamy butterscotch drink with a fluffy whipped topping, ready in about 10 minutes.
# Ingredients:
For the butterbeer base
01 -
4 cups (960 ml) chilled cream soda
02 -
1/4 cup (80 g) butterscotch sauce, plus more for drizzling
03 -
1/2 teaspoon butter extract
04 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the whipped topping
05 -
1/2 cup (120 ml) cold heavy whipping cream
06 -
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
07 -
1 tablespoon butterscotch sauce
08 -
Pinch of fine salt
09 -
Ice, optional for serving
# Instructions:
01 -
Place 4 glass mugs in the freezer for 10 minutes while you prepare the topping. This helps the drink stay cold and foamy.
02 -
Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon butterscotch sauce, and salt in a cold bowl until soft peaks form. Keep it chilled.
03 -
In a small pitcher, stir 1/4 cup butterscotch sauce with the butter extract and vanilla extract until smooth.
04 -
Slowly pour in the chilled cream soda and stir gently just until combined. Do not whisk or shake because it will flatten the soda.
05 -
Divide the butterbeer among the chilled mugs, adding ice first if desired. Spoon the butterscotch whipped cream over each glass and drizzle lightly with extra sauce.
06 -
Serve immediately while the drink is cold, bubbly, and the foam is still floating on top.
# Good to know:
01 -
Best served immediately after adding the cream soda.
02 -
Whipped topping can be made up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerated.
03 -
Use very cold cream soda for the strongest fizz.
