This creamy butterbeer mousse topped with whipped cream tastes just like the popular wizard beverage from my favorite book/movie series.
With Harry Potter being one of my favorite book/movie series, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to include a Harry Potter-inspired treat for Halloween Treats Week.
Butterbeer appears in many of the books and films in the series, but first appears in the Prisoner of Azkaban. It is a beverage from the wizard world that tastes like a less sickly-butterscotch, kind of like a caramel cream soda, served with a creamy topping.
While I lack a recipe for butterbeer on my website, I do have recipes for butterbeer cookies and butterbeer ice cream! But this time around I was inspired to create a butterbeer mousse.
Since this mousse is mostly made of whipped cream, I had to figure out how to get the flavor of liquid cream soda into this fluffy butterbeer mousse creation. To answer this question, I used the same trick as I did for my root beer cookies – cook it down into a syrup! Sure you could use caramel syrup but it’s just not quite right.
Butterbeer Mousse Ingredients.
- Heavy cream
- Cream soda
- Butterscotch chips
- Gelatin
- Butter extract
Between the cream soda syrup, butterscotch chips, butter extract, and whipped cream, this butterbeer mousse most definitely lives up to its name – especially when topped with more whipped cream and a drizzle of more reduced cream soda syrup (or caramel syrup if preferred).
