This popular party drink is inspired by the Harry Potter books and is ideal for serving at a holiday gathering or themed event.

The simple frothy sweet soda is delicious on it’s own but the homemade butterbeer whipped cream takes it over the top!

Harry Potter series Butterbeer for a Crowd

Makes 20-30 servings depending on cup size

Ingredients

• 20 oz Smucker’s Butterscotch Sundae Syrup Topping
• 3 2 Liter Bottles of Cream Soda

For the whipped cream:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tsp Butter extract
• Sea salt to taste

Instructions

• Add half the container of butterscotch to a large 2 gallon+ beverage container.
• Stir in the 3 bottles of cream soda.
• Add 1 cup whipped cream to the butterbeer drink mix and stir gently. Taste and add more whipped cream and butterscotch if needed.
• To serve: Pour into glasses and top with a dollop of whipped cream and (optional) a drizzle of butterscotch.

For the whipped cream:

• Using a cold bowl and beaters (I put mine in the freezer for about 30 minutes before using) beat heavy cream, brown sugar, and butter extract on high until stiff peaks form.
• Add a large pinch or two (to taste) of sea salt and stir gently to combine.
• Refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

Adapted from The Claire Necessities

Start by making the Butterbeer Whipped Cream.

This is hands down what makes this drink so good. 

It’s important to use a cold bowl and beaters.

I put mine in the freezer for about 30 minutes before using.

The two special ingredients that take this whipped cream over the top are butter extract and sea salt.

Beat heavy cream, brown sugar, and butter extract on high until stiff peaks form.

 Add a large pinch or two (to taste) of sea salt and stir gently to combine.

Refrigerate until ready to use. 

Now time to make the Butterbeer!

I use a large Beverage container which makes 20 or so servings. 

Add half the container of butterscotch to a large 2 gallon+ beverage container. Stir in the 3 bottles of cream soda.

Add 1 cup whipped cream to the butterbeer drink mix and stir gently.

Taste and add more whipped cream and butterscotch if needed.

To serve: Pour into glasses and top with a dollop of whipped cream and (optional) a drizzle of butterscotch.

“It was the most delicious thing he’d ever tasted and seemed to heat every bit of him from the inside.” – Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Haunted Shrunken Head Apple Cider

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups lemon juice
• 2 tbsp salt
• 3-4 large apples
• 1 gallon Apple Cider

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, add lemon juice and salt. Stir to combine.
• Peel and cut each apple in half, removing the core including the stem and seeds from each apple.
• Now, take a small paring knife and carve faces in the the rounded side of each apple half.
• Add apples to the bowl with the lemon and salt mix and let soak for a minute or two.
• Remove apples and place face up on a lined baking sheet.
• Bake apples until dry about 90 minutes.
• Meanwhile, why the apples bake add apple cider to a slowcooker on low to heat up.
• When the apples are done add them to the warm cider so the shrunken heads float on top.
• Display the Haunted Shrunken Head Apple Cider in a punchbowl or in the slowcooker with a ladle and mugs for serving.

Start with 3-4 large apples. 

 Peel and cut each apple in half.

Remove the core including the stem and seeds from each apple. 

Add apples to the bowl with the lemon and salt mix and let soak for a minute or two.

This keeps the apples from browning.

Now, take a small paring knife and carve faces in the the rounded side of each apple half.

My girls enjoyed carving scary and funny faces into the apples. 

A paring knife works well but you can also use a melon baller or small spoon to scoop out the eyes and mouth. 

Remove apples and place face up on a lined baking sheet. 

Bake apples until dry at 250 degrees for 90 minutes. 

When the apples are done add them to the warm cider.

The shrunken heads should float on top.

Display the Haunted Shrunken Head Apple Cider in a punchbowl or in the slowcooker with a ladle and mugs for serving. 

This recipe is inspired by two of our favorite family movies (that happen to feature shrunken heads), Harry Potter and Beetlejuice!

Crock-Pot Pumpkin Pie White Hot Chocolate

Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

• 1 15 oz pumpkin puree
• 8 cups milk or 4 cups milk/4 cups heavy cream
• 1 14 oz can condensed milk
• 12 oz bag white chocolate chips
• 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tbsp vanilla

Instructions

• Add all ingredients, except chocolate chips and whipped cream to the slowcooker.

This extra rich hot chocolate has just six ingredients. 

Add milk and condensed milk to the slowcooker.

If you want it even creamier you can do half heavy cream and half milk.

For this fall themed beverage I add one whole can of pumpkin puree.

Mix it in to the liquid in the slowcooker. 

Now add vanilla and pumpkin pie spice. 

Whisk well.

Finally, add in one bag of white chocolate chips. Stir. 

Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally to mix up the chips that clump on the bottom. 

Ladle into mugs and top with whipped cream if desired.

Serve hot.

Enjoy your creamy, decadent fall inspired hot chocolate!

“Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of 1st September was crisp and golden as an apple.” – J.K Rowling

I love the flavor combo of chocolate and pumpkin for fall and this new drink creation is perfectly decadent and delicious for enjoying during the cooler weather!

Ava made this recipe and treated us to these delicious drinks.

My girl sure is a chef in the making!

I experimented a few times until I got the perfect decadent fall hot chocolate.

This combo of six ingredients was the perfect recipe!

Ava loves to help and this recipe was so easy she could make the whole thing herself! 

In a medium saucepan add milk, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and brown sugar.

Heat over medium low and stir until completely combined. 

Bring to a low simmer, stirring often, then add chocolate chips.

Continue to heat and stir until chocolate completely melts. 

This recipe makes two full mugs. 

Pour into 2 mugs and top with whipped cream. 

I like to sprinkle on a bit more pumpkin pie spice (or you could use cinnamon sugar)

on top and even add a cinnamon stick for a festive addition.

These girls loved their chocolatey drink! Smiles all around!

“Life is sweeter with chocolate.” 

Happy Pumpkin Season!
