Ingredients
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 the whipped cream: Whip the heavy cream using a mixer until soft peaks form. Slowly beat in the powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and the cream holds stiff peaks. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep chilled.
- Mix the butterbeer base: Pour 1 cup of chilled cream soda into a large pitcher. Whisk in the 5 tablespoons of butterscotch topping and 2 tablespoons of butter extract until fully combined and smooth.
- Combine with remaining cream soda: Gradually add the rest of the cream soda (about 1.9 liters) to the pitcher, stirring gently to maintain carbonation and ensure even mixing throughout.
- Serve the butterbeer: Pour the mixed butterbeer into 8-ounce serving glasses, filling each just below the rim to leave space for the whipped cream topping.
- Add the whipped cream and drizzle: Top each glass generously with the prepared whipped cream. Drizzle with the reserved 1/3 cup butterscotch topping for an extra burst of flavor and a beautiful presentation.
Notes
- For best results, ensure cream soda is well chilled before preparing.
- Use fresh heavy cream to achieve the fluffiest whipped cream.
- You can adjust the amount of butterscotch topping or butter extract to taste for a sweeter or more buttery flavor.
- This recipe serves approximately 10 people, with each serving around 8 ounces.
- Serve immediately after preparation to maintain the creamy texture and carbonation of the soda.
