Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (full fat version recommended)
- 2 cups cream soda ice cubes (see notes for preparation)
- 2 teaspoons imitation butter extract
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
- 4 tablespoons butterscotch topping
- 1 cup cream soda
- 1 pinch of salt
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Soda Ice Cubes: To keep your Butterbeer cold without diluting the flavor, freeze cream soda in an ice cube tray until solid. You will need 2 cups of these cream soda ice cubes for the recipe.
- Blend the Base: In a blender, combine 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 2 cups of cream soda ice cubes, 2 teaspoons imitation butter extract, 1 teaspoon rum extract, 4 tablespoons butterscotch topping, 1 cup of cream soda, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and frothy.
- Serve the Butterbeer: Pour the blended mixture into glasses. Top generously with whipped cream to create a rich, creamy topping reminiscent of the iconic Butterbeer foam.
- Optional Garnish: Drizzle additional butterscotch topping over the whipped cream for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- Use full-fat vanilla ice cream for the creamiest and most authentic Butterbeer experience.
- Cream soda ice cubes prevent the drink from becoming watered down as it melts.
- If you do not have imitation butter extract, you can use real melted butter sparingly or butter flavoring extracts designed for beverages.
- Adjust the rum extract according to preference; it adds flavor but no alcohol.
- For an adult version, a splash of real rum can be added carefully.
