Butter beer

A taste of Hogwart – and a considerable count of calories per serving.

Ingredients

Method

  1. In a saucepan, melt the butter over moderate heat, add the sugar and heat, while stirring with a wooden spoon, until sugar melts and slightly caramelises. Add 100 ml cream (may splutter), cook until caramel dissolves. Add milk, vanilla paste, cinnamon and cocoa powder. Bring to the boil while whisking. Reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes. Remove from heat, add malt beer while whisking (do not boil anymore or the mixture will curdle). Serve topped with whipped cream.
