Yup. This is a recipe for the wonderfully tasty butterbeer Harry Potter fans might be dreaming of when they revisit Hogwarts int he nvoels or even the parks down in FL.
Ingredients for BUTTERBEER:
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
6 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup heavy cream, divided
4 shots of Butterscotch Liqueur
Four 12-ounce bottles cream soda
1 pint vanilla ice-cream
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar and water. Bring to a gentle bubble and cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the mixture reads 240°F on a candy thermometer.
Stir in butter, salt, and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Once the mixture has cooled, stir in Butterscotch Liqueur.
In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar mixture and the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to beat until just thickened, but not completely whipped, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Mix the remaining brown sugar mixture, ice-cream, and 1 bottle of cream soda. To serve, divide between 4 tall glasses. Fill each glass nearly to the top with additional cream soda, then spoon the whipped topping over each.
