hey everyone its James from fun foods and today I'm going to show you how to make this
homemade butterbeer smoothie now this is non-alcoholic so it's something you
can enjoy with the whole family so keep watching I'll show you step by step how
to make this now the first thing I want to do is start off with a glass mug now
I've already had this in the freezer for about 10 minutes it frosted up nicely
but I'm going to put it back in the freezer for a little bit while we work
on our butterbeer now we're gonna work backwards here the first thing we're
gonna do is make the frothy stuff that goes on top it's kind of like that that
white film and to do that we don't need much I'm gonna use some heavy whipping
cream about 1/4 a cup and I'm just gonna put this in this medium bowl here it
doesn't look like a lot and it's not for this step you want to use a whisk
attachment you can use a hand whisk you just have to work really hard at it but
I'm gonna use that with an electric mixer and we're gonna mix this up until
it becomes real frothy
all right so after about 45 to 60 seconds you'll see it's like this it's
not quite at stiff peaks but we don't want the stiff peaks part we want to
just shy of that and to add a little flavor I'm gonna add one tablespoon of
sugar to this it also gives it a little bit more body so this is gonna be our
froth that we put on the top and you want it to be a little runny now this is
not exactly a little runny but what I can do is add a little bit more heavy
cream if it's like this too thick a little more cream so it's a little too
thick I want it to be slightly runny so I'm just gonna add a little bit more
cream here not much very little bit it's really a game of playing with it but we
just have to find the right mixture
all right so I played with a little bit I got a little more cream in there and I
think it turned out nicely this is about what I'm going for about this
consistency not stiff peaks but a little not runny now we're just gonna take our
topping here and just gonna set it aside we're going to come back to it at the
end next in a blender we're gonna add some
vanilla ice cream now you want to use some good vanilla ice cream here I'm
gonna put about four to five scoops that's a roughly around two cups worth
now we're also going to add one whole cup of ice cubes just regular ice cubes
then you want to add a good quality cream soda so I'm gonna use this right
here and we're going to add one cup of this cream soda in here
next we're gonna add some butterscotch syrup now you can use butterscotch
melted down I'm just gonna use the syrup because I think it's a little better so
I'm gonna use about 1/4 of a cup it's a lot but it's gonna make it amazing so
forth a cup of the syrup pour it in there
and I'm also gonna add some butter extract now if you can't find butter
extract I'll put a link in the description below where you can get a
hold of something for this we're gonna add now we'll do two teaspoons of butter
extract now just put your lid on your blender and you're gonna want to blend
this until everything is well combined we're making a smoothie here alright so
I think I'm gonna add another cup of ice because I just want it to be a little
better than that one cup isn't enough let's go with two cups of ice so here's
another cup of ice back to blending oh there we go that's the consistency I
want nice and thick now just take your frosted mug out of the freezer and we
can pour our smoothie in there our butterbeer smoothie pour it in there
fill it up really good and we want to get almost to the top right about here
now to put the topping on there I'm gonna go the simple route I'm just gonna
take a spoon and dish it out now you can decorate this a little more by adding
some more butterscotch topping to the top of it why not right so let's drizzle
a little bit of that on there that's a lot mmm looks good well now it's time
for the taste test I'm gonna try this out and see if it tastes just like the
butterbeer smoothie I had at Universal Studios last week here goes let's see
it's good I need a thicker straw actually I can taste it it's amazing but
one advice get a thicker straw
very good you're gonna love it this tastes really close to what I had
in Universal Studios the butterbeer that they had really close well thanks
