Indulge in the magical world of Harry Potter with this easy-to-make, no-bake Butterbeer recipe! Made with chilled cream soda, caramel, butter, and butterscotch-flavored whipped cream, this creamy, fizzy drink is a sweet, nostalgic treat that everyone will love.

Ingredients

For the Cream Topping:

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup butterscotch topping

1/4 cup powdered sugar

For the Butterbeer Base:

2 liters cream soda, chilled

1/4 teaspoon caramel extract

1/4 teaspoon butter extract

Instructions

  • Prepare the cream topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and 1/4 cup of butterscotch topping. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture on medium speed until it thickens and forms whipped cream. Set aside.

  • Mix the Butterbeer base: In a large pitcher, combine the chilled cream soda, caramel extract, and butter extract. Stir gently to combine.

  • Serve: Pour the Butterbeer mixture into glasses, filling each about three-quarters full.

  • Top with whipped cream: Spoon the butterscotch whipped cream onto the top of each glass of Butterbeer.

  • Garnish and enjoy: Optionally, drizzle a little extra butterscotch topping over the whipped cream for added sweetness and serve immediately.

Notes

Storage: Butterbeer is best served fresh, especially with the whipped topping. Store the cream soda mixture in the fridge for up to 2 days, but make fresh whipped cream when you’re ready to serve.

Variations:

Alcoholic Version: Add a splash of rum or spiced rum for an adult twist on this magical drink.

Vegan Option: Use plant-based cream soda, coconut cream, and dairy-free butterscotch topping for a vegan-friendly Butterbeer.

Fizzy Less Sweet Version: Opt for a sugar-free cream soda and reduce the amount of butterscotch topping for a lighter version.
