This copycat frozen butterbeer recipe tastes just like the drink you can get at Universal Studios. It is so easy to make at home and only has 3 ingredients!

Perhaps, one of the most iconic foods from the Harry Potter universe is butterbeer. One sip of this sweet, buttery drink will instantly transport you to Hogsmeade. And this time it comes with a frozen twist! I can guarantee you've never tried anything like this (unless you've been to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, of course!)

If you love butterbeer, you won't want to miss my Butterbeer Crepes!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 liters cream soda
  • 8 tablespoons butterscotch syrup divided
  • 6 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • Pour cream soda into ice cube trays (you can use as much soda for the ice as you would like, but I would recommend having at least half of the soda unfrozen for the drinks). Freeze the soda until completely frozen; this will take a few hours.
  • Make the whipped cream topping by mixing the whipping cream and 2 tablespoons of the butterscotch syrup with an electric mixer. Mix on high for a couple of minutes until the topping has reached a thick consistency.
  • After the topping has been made, pour the remaining soda, ice cubes, and butterscotch syrup into a blender. Mix all of the ingredients together.
  • Pour into glasses and top with whipped cream topping. Serve immediately.

    We made this yesterday and it was outstanding! The 2 servings actually worked for 3 smaller sizes, if needed.
