Butter Beer??

So I recently got home from vacation to Orlando and went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure... Needless to say ... I rode the Harry Potter ride! And it was Awesome!! That of course peeked my curiosity and I ended up buying the first movie and a butter beer. It was so yummy I searched for a decent recipe to try!

This one is the best I found....

1 cup light or dark brown sugar

2 tablespoons water

6 tablespoon butter

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar

3/4 cup heavy cream, divided

1/2 teaspoon rum extract

Four 12-ounce bottles cream soda

In a small saucepan over medium, combine the brown sugar and water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook, stirring often, until the mixture reads 240 F on a candy thermometer.

Stir in the butter, salt, vinegar and 1/4 heavy cream. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the rum extract.

In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar mixture and the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to beat until just thickened, but not completely whipped, about 2 to 3 minutes.

To serve, divide the brown sugar mixture between 4 tall glasses (about 1/4 cup for each glass). Add 1/4 cup of cream soda to each glass, then stir to combine. Fill each glass nearly to the top with additional cream soda, then spoon the whipped topping over each.

BUT... I didn't serve it like this I had to be difficult! Instead I took the brown sugar mixture and mixed in the cream soda and put it in the icecream maker! Made it a slushy of sorts then topped with the whipped topping! Mmmmm so delicious! Please let me know if you try this one! It was such a good treat!

This picture doesn't do it justice. Must take pictures with my camera instead of cellphone. (Noted) haha
