Butterbeer Ice Cream
Butterbeer Ice Cream | Celebrate summer and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter with this delicious creamy Butterbeer ice cream. In order to be considered Butterbeer it must be served frozen (like a slush), have a frothy head, a butter-scotchy flavor and non alcoholic. This ice cream meets all those requirements and more! This ice cream is totally worthy of serving at your next Harry Potter Party.
The addition of the rum and butter extract give the ice cream just the right amount of butterscotch flavor. My version of the frothy topping is a rum flavored marshmallow topping made with tons of heavy cream that you are going to love.
