This Harry Potter inspired Butterbeer recipe is almost identical to the one you can get at Universal Studios! Filled with delicious notes of butterscotch, this drink is always a big hit.
Use an electric hand mixer to whisk the cream, butter, powdered sugar, and one tablespoon of butterscotch sauce together until the cream reaches stiff peaks.
Pour the soda into four 24 ounce glasses. Gently whisk about two tablespoons of butterscotch sauce into each glass until it is homogenous with the soda.
Top each drink with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
You can spoon on your whipped cream or transfer it to a pipping bag for a nicer look.
If you only have unsalted butter then add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the melted butter. This will help balance the sweetness of the whipped topping.
You will be able to find fruity flavors of cream soda, but we recommend using
classic, original cream soda for the best taste. This soda should be served immediately after the whipped cream is added. That being said, you can store the whipped cream in a bowl covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge.
It is important to whisk in the butterscotch gently to prevent your soda from fizzing over the sides of the glass.
If you can’t find butterscotch sauce at your local store then you can use caramel sauce instead.
For some extra flavor we like to top our soda with some extra caramel or butterscotch syrup.
