Harry Potter’s World Famous Frozen Butterbeer: DIY

Hello Everyone,

As some of you may recall I had visited Harry Potter World this past summer! Whilst being there, there were many amazing treats to sample. One of them being the ever famous “Butterbeer” mentioned as tasting of “sickly butterscotch” in the Harry Potter Series. It is simply delicious, if you’re a fan of butterscotch of coarse! This Butterbeer tastes exactly like the one you can purchase at the Harry Potter Theme Park, it is so simple and refreshing.Today I present to you a DIY on how to make your very own Butterbeer. Let’s get started shall we? (SIDE NOTE) Let me tell you, if you have not been there yet and are a major Harry Potter fan, you absolutely need to go. If you want to read about my Harry Potter World experience, click on the link! 🙂

What you will need:

Butterscotch toppings, Whip Cream, Three cans of your favorite cream soda, and an ice cream maker.

First Step:

Follow the instructions of how to work your ice cream maker then pour in your cream sodas into the chamber.

Second Step:

Add to the cream soda a generous pour of butterscotch topping. Make sure that it is well combined into the soda other wise the butterscotch will sink to the bottom and not incorporate into the drink.

Third Step:

Let the butterbeer keep mixing until it is slushy. The picture on the right shows that the Butterbeer is still not ready. Also, don’t let it go too long otherwise it will freeze to the sides of your machine (not good).

Step Four:

When it finally gets to the right slushy consistency, pour your Butterbeer into the glasses of your choice and move onto step five! 🙂

Step Five:

 

Pour some butterscotch topping into a little mixing bowl and add some whip cream to it. Grab a whisk and start mixing the two together into a frothy topping. ALSO, you can use heavy whipping cream instead of using pre-made whip cream, it tastes the same. I just thought it would be easier to go the “lazy way” with the pre-made stuff! No one will be able to tell the difference! 😉

Step Six:

Top your Butterbeer with your butterscotch whipped cream.

Enjoy:

This recipe is a special treat for all the Harry Potter nerds out there. REPRESENT! 😉 Perfect for a movie marathon or a nice way to cool off in the HOT Florida weather if you decide to try the original. I hope you enjoyed this DIY, comment down below on what things you would like to see in the future. I love getting comments from you guys and I always respond. See you on Wednesday! 🙂

Universal Studios– Part 2

Hey everyone,

Here is part two to my Universal Studios experience and in this post I will be talking about the park as well as how to save money in the park! There are actually two parks within the Universal Studios property so I will also be comparing the differences between them. Let’s get started!

When you come to the park you will notice that th

e two parks are side by side! If you are looking for more of a theme park experience (roller coasters and such) definitely go to Island of Adventure. Inside Island of Adventure you will find will find a few different themed areas such as: Harry Potter World, Jurassic Park, Marvel Comics, Dr. Seuss children area, a random mythical themed place, and a few other cool parks. This park is filled with fun roller coasters as well as a few simulator rides. If you do get hungry while you are in this park you MUST go to The Three Broomsticks restaurant. It is the ONLY good place to eat in either of the parks, trust me. The ride you must go on is the ride inside

of the Harry Potter castle, it is seriously SO amazing. OH, and try the frozen butterbeer! 🙂

Moving on to the second park, Universal Studios Florida. This park is has one of the best roller coasters I have ever been on as well as some of the coolest simulator rides you will find. This park is all about film making to be honest, so if you are looking for tons of roller coasters and thriller rides this park is not the one for you. But the simulator rides are so much fun! There are also a lot of shows, so it is a great way to get out of the Florida Heat! The ride you must, must, MUST, go on is the Despicable Me ride! It is so cute and feels like you are on a roller coaster!

Now onto the money part. If you want to save major cash stay in one of the park hotels, you will save major bucks and receive great perks. One of the perks to these hotels is you get FREE fast passes, which is so nice when there is a twenty minute wait. Fast passes can be purchased in the park, but I am sure you don’t want to spend

$90 per person for one.Another way to save money if bringing your own food, unlike Disney the parks are very laid back when it comes to bringing in your own food and drinks. I saw a lady with a roller cooler packed with food while we were there. Park food is not cheap, and most is not quality food. BRING YOUR OWN.
