Butterbeer

Recipe Introduction


This is an adaptation of Harry Potter's favorite snacks.


List of Ingredients




* 1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened
* 1/2 stick (2 ounces) butter, at room temperature
* 1/3 cup light brown sugar
* 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
* 1 bottle (3 cups) sparkling apple cider


Recipe



Allow ice cream to soften, about 30 minutes, and bring butter to room temperature, about 2 hours.

Cream together butter, sugar and spices in large bowl. Add to ice cream and refreeze. Heat sparkling cider in a pot until warm but still carbonated (at least 3 minutes). Fill each glass with a generous scoop of ice cream mixture and pour warmed cider over ice cream. It will foam like beer; hence the name.
