Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Cream Topping
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Butterbeer Base
- 2 cups cream soda
- 2 tablespoons butterscotch syrup, plus extra for drizzling
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, indicating the cream holds its shape but is still smooth.
- Add Sugar and Whip Stiff: Add the powdered sugar to the whipped cream and continue beating at high speed until stiff peaks form, meaning the cream is firm and holds its shape well.
- Prepare Topping: Transfer the whipped cream to an icing bag or bowl to set aside for topping the drinks later.
- Mix Base in Glasses: Pour about two ounces of cream soda into each glass to start the base.
- Add Butterscotch Syrup: Add one tablespoon of butterscotch syrup to each glass, adjusting to taste if a stronger butterscotch flavor is preferred.
- Stir Base Mixture: Stir gently to blend the cream soda and butterscotch syrup together evenly.
- Add Remaining Soda: Divide the remaining cream soda equally between the two glasses and stir lightly to combine without losing carbonation.
- Top with Whipped Cream: Spoon or pipe the whipped cream topping over the surface of each glass.
- Drizzle Butterscotch: Finish by drizzling extra butterscotch syrup over the whipped cream and serve immediately to enjoy the frothy, sweet butterbeer experience.
Notes
- For a stronger flavor, increase the butterscotch syrup slightly to taste.
- Use chilled cream soda for best carbonation and refreshment.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the whipped cream at its best texture and the soda fully fizzy.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with a coconut cream alternative and use a vegan whipped topping.
- This recipe yields two servings and can be doubled easily for parties.
