Butterbeer….without….well….Beer!

By Survival Mom on Mar 16, 2010 with Comments 0

I don’t know about you but whenever I want to unwind with a nice cool glass of beer my toddler runs up and asks for a sip….I don’t know if inherently kids love beer….doubt it….I think it has more to do with the fact that “mommy” is enjoying it so much

So, when I found this recipe, I thought it was something I could call beer AND enjoy with my little one…..

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

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
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.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
