This week the new Harry Potter book, "The Cursed Child," came out, and now everyone is in full on Harry Potter mode. I work at a bookstore, so for the past week we were getting ready for the release of the book, stocking up on Harry Potter supplies for all of the events we were going to have the night the book came out. One thing that we had a lot of for the midnight release were Harry Potter snacks like chocolate frogs and Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, and it took all of the self-control I have not to come home with bagfuls of these delicious candies. However, it also made me wonder what other treats from the world of Harry Potter you could make at home. So, I looked up Harry Potter recipes and found so many that were from the books that you can make! Here are 10 recipes from the wizarding world of Harry Potter to enjoy while you read "The Cursed Child":
1. Homemade Butterbeer
I used this recipe to make homemade butterbeer and it was extremely simple and easy! You only have to add a few ingredients to the cream soda and you are pretty much done. The marshmallow cream took a little more time to make and required a mixer, but it was not hard at all to do. The soda tasted amazing and I absolutely loved the marshmallow cream on the top! (I would even make it to put on other foods/drinks). I would definitely make this recipe again and recommend it to anyone looking for a Harry Potter-inspired drink or just a tasty soda recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 (2 liter) bottle cream soda, chilled
- 2 Tbsp butter flavor
- 3 tsp rum extract, divided
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 (7 oz.) jar marshmallow cream
Directions
- For the soda:
- Pour butter flavor and 2 tsp rum extract into bottle of cream soda, return lid to soda then holding soda horizontally twist and rotate bottle gently to evenly distribute flavorings. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- For the marshmallow cream topping:
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitter with the whisk attachment, whip cream on high speed until it begins to thicken slightly and begins to form slight peaks. Add marshmallow cream and remaining 1 tsp rum extract and continue to whip until well blended and smooth. To serve pour soda into mugs and spoon marshmallow cream topping over top.
