Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups full fat vanilla ice cream
- 2 cups cream soda ice cubes (see below)
- 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 for Cream Soda Ice Cubes
- Fill an ice cube tray with cream soda and freeze until solid
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Soda Ice Cubes: Pour cream soda into an ice cube tray and freeze until completely solid. This will keep your Butterbeer cold without diluting the flavor.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, cream soda ice cubes, imitation butter extract, rum extract, butterscotch topping, cream soda, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour and Serve: Pour the blended mixture into glasses.
- Add Whipped Cream: Top each serving generously with whipped cream to enhance the creamy texture and add a decorative finish.
Notes
- Use full fat vanilla ice cream for the best creamy and rich flavor.
- Make your cream soda ice cubes in advance to ensure your Butterbeer stays chilled without watering it down.
- Imitation butter and rum extracts provide the iconic Butterbeer flavor; adjust quantities to taste.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
- For a non-alcoholic version, ensure extracts do not contain alcohol-based ingredients.
