Easy Hot Butterbeer Recipe
This easy hot Butterbeer recipe is pretty close to the “real” thing at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It’s certainly closer than the two cold recipes that we tried, last week.

Hot Butterbeer Recipe Ingredients
- 10 OZ of Cream Soda (1 & 1/4 cups)
- 1 Tbsp of Salted REAL Butter
- 1/2 Cup Butterscotch chips
- 1/4 Cup Heavy Cream
Instructions
- Put the Butterscotch Chips and Butter in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds. Stir and Heat for another 30 seconds. Now add the Heavy Cream to the bowl.
- Microwave in 30 Second increments again. Stirring each time. It usually takes about 4 times (2 minutes) to get the right consistency. Set your mixture aside. The chips and butter should be a thick stir-able paste.
- Heat Cream soda in the microwave for 90 seconds. BE VERY CAREFUL! Microwaves times vary. Make sure not to over heat the Cream Soda or all of the fizz will be gone.
- Pour Butterscotch mixture into heated Cream Soda.
- Stir & Serve!
