It’s great for the Summertime… when it’s hot outside or for your next Harry Potter Party, truth be told we love this slushy drink year round!
What’s a girl to do when she lives miles away from Harry Potter World and she’s craving frozen butterbeer?! Make it at home!
When we were in Universal Orlando the kids wanted souvenirs, and all I wanted was more Frozen Butterbeer. It’s that good!
After trying both frozen Butter Beer and regular ButterBeer, we all preferred the frozen variety.
The texture is like a slurpee, it’s the best on a hot day.
What you need to make Frozen Butter Beer:
- 2 2 liters Cream Soda (your favorite brand)
- 1 container whipping cream
- 1 jar Butterscotch ice cream topping
How to make the Frozen Butter Beer recipe:
- Freeze the Soda: Start with one of the 2 liters of cream soda and freeze small portions of it in plastic cups. You can also use ice cube trays as well, whatever you have. Freeze the soda for a few hours, or overnight.
- Whip the Cream: With a stand mixer or hand mixer whip the whipped cream. Add a few tablespoons of the butterscotch topping to flavor the whipped cream as you whip. Do not over whip the cream. It should look and feel light, not thick and heavy. Set the whipped cream aside.
- Blend it up: Blend the frozen cream soda with some of the cream soda that is not frozen for an icy or slush texture. Add more of the butterscotch topping into the blended cream soda while you blend.
- Top it with Whipped Cream: To serve, pour the blended slush mixture into a cup and top with the butterscotch flavored whip cream. Enjoy!

Store it in the Freezer:

Ha! I love that you had to make it too! It really was sooo good! We loved getting to see you guys on this trip! So fun!
After reading your post I have been craving it too. We don’t have butterscotch ice cream topping in Australia. Will try it with caramel and cross my fingers!
I haven’t thought of Butterbeer in ages. Thank you for posting this. I hope you are doing better. 🙂
What size heavy whipping cream? Pin or quart?
Did you use an entire jar of ice cream topping?
No! only a few tablespoons.
omg i am trying it cause I’ve been craving it
OMG, I was JUST in Universal and my bf’s sister told me that I had to try the Butterbeer ice cream, which I thought sounded weird, but I am SO GLAD THAT I DID! It was delicious. Thank you so much for this recipe–now I can recreate at home 🙂
So fun! You bet!
I can’t wait to try this recipe and the video is an added bonus!! 🙂
Does this taste non fizzy like in universal studios hollywood when i got frozen it did not have a carbonated taste so just wondering thanks
How many servings does this actually make?
I made my own the other day I used whipped cream some marshmellow fluff and butterscotch for the topping. In the drink I did what you did but also put a dash of the cream and a pinch of rum extract- it was YUMMY!!
At HPW for the last 4 days. Could not get enough of FROZEN BUTTERBEER! Only downside was the ice cream headache after each sip (major). Soooo delicious! Trying this recipe😁
Frozen ButterBeer isn’t carbonated. Should you let the soda go flat?
