Heape of Love

butterbeer

6 Nov ’13

If you are familiar with Harry Potter and loved our Hogwarts themed Halloween party, you will LOVE this recipe for Butterbeer. For those unfamiliar to the Harry Potter world, Butterbeer is a popular wizard beverage described as tasting “a little bit like less-sickly butterscotch.” It’s not even similar to beer and typically (or according to the books) only contains a slight amount of alcohol which is known to get the house-elves in a drunk-like state. However, the recipe below is a non-alcoholic version.

This recipe is perfect for any holiday party!

butterbeer

ingredients-honeydo

  • light or dark brown sugar, 2 cup (we used both light & dark)
  • water, 4 tablespoons
  • butter, 12 tablespoons
  • salt, 1 teaspoon
  • apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon
  • heavy cream, divided, 1 1/2 cups
  • almond extract, 1 teaspoon (other recipes called for rum extract)
  • bottles cream soda, 1 liter

directions-honeydo

One. Combine the brown sugar and water, in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stir often, and let cook until sticky like tar.

Two. Stir in the butter, salt, apple cider vinegar, and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Three. Once the concoction has cooled, stir in the almond extract.

Four. Combine 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of the concoction from above into a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to whisk until thickened, but not totally whipped. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Five. Divide the brown sugar concoction into serving glasses (we used mugs!). Add 1/4 cup of cream soda to each glass and stir. Fill each glass with additional cream soda.

Six. Top with the whipped cream. Serve and enjoy!

*This recipe makes approximately 8 servings.

We found several recipes for Butterbeer on Pinterest and combined several to our liking. Ours was a hit and very delicious, if I do say so myself. Other recipes call for rum or vodka for a bit of a spike, but a butterscotch schnapps would be delicious too!
