Butterbeer Recipe

Serves 4

Ingredients

To make the butterscotch:

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup whipping cream

Pinch of salt

1 cup heavy cream, whipped

4 (330-ml) cans soda water

1 pint or 4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Directions:

1 Melt the butter over medium heat. Add sugar and stir until dissolved.

2 Add the whipping cream and salt, then cook over medium heat for 7 minutes.

3 In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until you reach soft peaks and fold in 2 tablespoons of cooled butterscotch.
