Harry Potter fans of all ages will love this butterbeer recipe! It’s served warm just like it would be in The Three Broomsticks.

The Harry Potter novels are filled with all kinds of amazing treats and delicious sounding food. There are things like chocolate frogs, jelly beans flavored every way you can imagine.

These, and Butterbeer, are some of the more popular and memorable dishes. Of course, never melting ice cream would also be amazing- but my “normal” ice cream recipes like Cookie Dough Ice Cream and Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream are still pretty good, even if they do succumb to warm air.

Even if I can’t get awesome wizard powers (my owl didn’t show up with the letter) I can still pull a few “magic tricks” in the kitchen.

With just a few simple ingredients I developed a hot butterbeer recipe that tastes incredible and is perfect for a movie-watching marathon or simply snuggling up with a mug on under a blanket.

Another fun thing about this butterbeer recipe is that it’s especially delicious to drink during the fall and winter months because it’s so comforting and warm. Even the non-HP fans will appreciate this recipe and its unique creamy flavor. 

Butterbeer ingredients

  • Cream soda: This can easily be purchased in 2ltrs and will help to give a slightly bubbly base and flavor for our drink.
  • Heavy cream: Using heavy cream we will help to get a rounder creamy flavor and lighten the color up so that it looks thick and delicious.
  • Rum extract: Just a little rum extract really helps to kick this flavor up a notch. 
  • Browned butter: We actually make this ourselves using regular butter, so don’t worry. Steps are included to make this as simple as possible!
  • Caramel: Just a little caramel will help to add that something extra that we want for appearances (and taste). Some people use butterscotch, but caramel is just as delicious (if not more so).
  • Whipped Cream: Totally optional- but what warm fall drink doesn’t go amazingly with fresh whipped cream?

How to make butterbeer

  • Start by making the browned by placing your butter in a small frying pan and melting over low heat. 
  • Swirl the butter around occasionally and continue cooking until the butterfat solids turn to a light golden brown color.
  • Remove the pan from the heat immediately. Butter will burn easily, so it’s important to keep a close eye!
  • In another saucepan, combine the heavy cream and the cream soda.
  • Warm the pan over medium heat until it’s steaming hot.
  • Add in the rum extract and the browned butter you just made. Whisk to combine.
  • Drizzle the caramel inside the mugs to create a fun design.
  • Divide the warm cream soda mixture between 4 mugs.
  • Top with whipped cream if desired and enjoy.

Is butterbeer supposed to be warm?

In the wizarding world (and in Universal Studios) you can choose between hot or cold butterbeer. While this particular recipe is for warm butterbeer, you can always chill the leftovers or blend with ice for a frozen version that is also “out of this world” good.

    […] Hot chocolate cookies with marshmallows go great with a glass of warm milk, (actual) hot chocolate, or even eggnog! Yum! I’m also willing to bet that they’d pair amazingly well with Warm Butterbeer! […]
