We are planning an all day, kid friendly new years eve. I have an English style menu planned and we are going to try to watch all 6 Harry Potter movies in one sitting. I searched the internet for recipe ideas, to round out a menu of Shepherd's pie and Yorkshire puddings. I found this recipe for butterbeer that we are trying. Let me know what you think.
Ingredients:1 pint real vanilla ice cream, (use a brand that includes vanilla seed specks for best flavor or make your own)1/4 cup real butter, at room temperature, 1/2 teaspoon butterscotch extract, (I couldn't find butterscotch extract so I used a small package of instant butterscotch pudding), 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, 1 quart apple cider, Apple slices for garnish, optional
Preparation:On medium speed, beat together vanilla ice cream, butter, butterscotch extract, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg until well-combined. Pour into a container and re-freeze.
When ready to serve, gently heat apple cider in a saucepan until steaming hot.
Place 1 scoop of ice cream in a thick soda glass or large mug. Top with steaming apple cider. Garnish with apple slices, if desired.
This looks like it would be good in a cup of hot coffee, too.
