Notes

Ingredient notes:

Butterscotch pudding – you can use either instant or cook and serve, you’re just using the dry mix so it really doesn’t matter. There are just over nine tablespoons in a 3.9 oz pudding mix so you'll need about 1/2 a packet.
Ice cream – I’ve only tried this with vanilla ice cream, but you would probably use butterscotch ice cream as well to get even more butterscotch flavor!
Butterscotch sauce – I just use butterscotch ice cream topping like Smuckers! It would probably work with a homemade butterscotch sauce as well, but I haven’t tried it. If you really can’t find butterscotch sauce, you can use caramel sauce but it won’t taste like butterbeer.

Tips:

Make it even fancier by adding some streaks of butterscotch sauce inside the glass before you pour the frozen butterbeer inside! That just adds even more delicious butterscotch flavor.
Use full size ice cubes rather than crushed ice and leave it a little icy rather than blending it so it’s completely smooth – that icy texture is what makes it taste like frozen butterbeer!
Refrigerate the cream soda and butterscotch sauce so they’re chilled before you add them to the drink. It’ll just make the butterbeer even colder!
Make sure to blend the actual ingredients together before adding the ice. You want them to combine together well before you add the ice – it really does make a difference!
