1. Golden Butterbeer
Ingredients
*Coconut Whipped Cream - extras can be stored in the fridge*
● 1, 14 ounce can coconut cream or full fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
● 1/4 - 3/4 cup powdered sugar
● 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Butterbeer
● 1 Grüvi Golden Lager
● 1/3 cup coconut or brown sugar
● 1 tablespoon butter or vegan butter
● 2 1/2 tablespoons coconut milk
● 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Make your coconut cream. Remove the coconut cream from the ridge without shaking the can. Open the can and scrape out the thickened cream and leave the liquid behind to use for the butter beer. Add the cream to a large mixing bowl and beat until creamy, about 30 seconds. Add the vanilla and sifted powdered sugar and mix until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Avoid over-whipping to avoid separation. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed. Use the desired amount to top your butterbeer, and then store leftovers in the fridge for 1-2 weeks - it will harden in the fridge as it chills.
2. Make your butterbeer. Add sugar into a saucepan over low heat and don’t touch it. When the sugar granules start to move to melt slightly, start stirring it until you get a liquid caramel that is rather clear. Watch it closely to not allow the color to get to a dark amber or brown otherwise the caramel will be too bitter.
3. Remove your pan from the heat and while stirring add your butter, coconut milk, and vanilla. Continue stirring.
4. Next, stir in the can of Golden. If you feel that the caramel is starting to stick, put the pan back on low heat. Once you have a well mixed and smooth mixture that is golden, pour into your mugs.
5. Once it cools down a bit, top with whipped coconut cream and a sprinkle of
cinnamon. Enjoy!
