Scale
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
Butterbeer
- 2 liters cream soda, well chilled
- 5 tablespoons butterscotch topping
- 2 tablespoons butter extract
- 1/3 cup butterscotch topping (for drizzling on top)
Instructions
- Prepare Whipped Cream: Whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until the mixture is fully combined and smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep chilled while preparing the butterbeer.
- Mix Butterbeer Base: Pour 1 cup of the cream soda into a large pitcher. Add 5 tablespoons of butterscotch topping and 2 tablespoons of butter extract. Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly until the butterscotch is evenly incorporated into the soda.
- Add Remaining Soda: Slowly pour in the rest of the cream soda, gently mixing to maintain carbonation until the entire 2-liter bottle is combined with the flavored mixture.
- Serve: Pour the butterbeer into glasses that hold about 8 ounces each. Top each serving with a generous dollop of the prepared whipped cream. Drizzle the remaining ⅓ cup of butterscotch topping over the whipped cream for extra sweetness and decoration.
Notes
- For best flavor, use well-chilled cream soda to maintain the fizzy texture.
- You can adjust the amount of butter extract to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder buttery flavor.
- The whipped cream can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- This recipe yields about 10 servings, perfect for parties or themed gatherings.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and ensure butterscotch topping is dairy-free.
