Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 4 cups cream soda
- 1 cup heavy cream (for whipped topping)
- 2 tablespoons butterscotch sauce (for whipped topping)
- Optional toppings: butterscotch sauce, caramel drizzle, cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Butterscotch Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Slowly pour in 1/2 cup of heavy cream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
- Add Flavor: Once the sauce is smooth, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir well, then remove from heat. Let the sauce cool for a minute.
- Mix the Cream Soda: Pour 4 cups of cream soda into a large mixing bowl. Gently stir in half the butterscotch sauce until it’s well combined.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add 2 tablespoons of the butterscotch sauce for a lightly sweetened topping.
- Assemble the Butterbeer: Divide the cream soda mixture evenly between your serving glasses. Top each with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
- Add the Finishing Touch: Drizzle the remaining butterscotch sauce over the whipped cream and sprinkle a dash of cinnamon for a magical presentation.
