Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make a magical mug of homemade frozen Butterbeer:
-
2 cups vanilla ice cream
A rich, creamy base that gives the drink its frosty milkshake texture. -
2 cups cream soda ice cubes
Freeze cream soda ahead of time to intensify flavor and keep the drink from watering down. -
2 teaspoons imitation butter extract
This gives Butterbeer its distinctive buttery aroma and taste. -
1 teaspoon rum extract
Adds a bit of spice and warmth without actual alcohol. -
4 tablespoons butterscotch topping
Sweet, thick, and absolutely essential for creating that classic Butterbeer flavor. -
1 cup cream soda
Provides a fizzy, caramel-vanilla base that ties everything together. -
1 pinch of salt
A secret touch that balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor profile. -
Whipped cream
A cloud-like topping that completes the drink. -
Optional: Extra butterscotch drizzle
Adds a visual flourish and more sweetness.
Instructions
Step 1: Freeze the Cream Soda Ice Cubes
Pour cream soda into an ice cube tray and freeze for 4–6 hours or overnight. These soda cubes will blend perfectly into the drink without diluting it like regular ice would.
Step 2: Add Everything to the Blender
Into a high-powered blender, combine:
-
2 cups vanilla ice cream
-
2 cups cream soda ice cubes
-
2 teaspoons imitation butter extract
-
1 teaspoon rum extract
-
4 tablespoons butterscotch topping
-
1 cup cream soda
-
A pinch of salt
Blend on high speed until smooth, creamy, and thick like a milkshake.
Step 3: Prepare Your Serving Glasses
Chill your mugs or glasses in the freezer for a few minutes. Cold glasses help maintain the frozen consistency of the drink.
Step 4: Serve and Garnish
Pour the Butterbeer mixture into each chilled mug. Top generously with whipped cream and, if desired, drizzle extra butterscotch sauce over the top.
Step 5: Enjoy Immediately
This drink is best enjoyed fresh and cold. Serve it up with a straw or a long spoon and indulge in its magical flavor.
