Ingredients
Frozen Cream Soda Ice Cubes
- 1 can cream soda (for freezing)
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (full fat recommended)
- 2 cups cream soda ice cubes
- 2 teaspoons imitation butter extract
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
- 4 tablespoons butterscotch topping
- 1 cup cream soda
- 1 pinch salt
- Whipped cream, for topping
Instructions
- Freeze the Cream Soda: Pour one can of cream soda into ice cube trays and freeze for at least 4 hours until solid, creating the cream soda ice cubes.
- Prepare the Blender Ingredients: Once frozen, measure out 2 cups of the cream soda ice cubes and place them into a blender along with 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 2 teaspoons of imitation butter extract, 1 teaspoon of rum extract, 1 cup of cream soda, 4 tablespoons of butterscotch topping, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend the Mixture: Blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy, ensuring the ice cubes break down and the flavors merge perfectly.
- Serve: Pour the blended Butterbeer into your favorite frosted mug for a classic presentation.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Top with a generous amount of whipped cream and drizzle additional butterscotch topping on top before serving.
Notes
- For best flavor, use full-fat vanilla ice cream to give the Butterbeer a rich and creamy texture.
- Make sure to freeze the cream soda ice cubes for at least 4 hours or overnight for optimal blending and chill.
- The imitation butter and rum extracts provide the signature Butterbeer flavor without alcohol.
- You can adjust the amount of butterscotch topping based on your preferred sweetness level.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the ice cream with a vegan alternative and use whipped coconut cream.
