Harry Potter Strawberry and Peanut Butter Ice Cream

Universal Studios Orlando announced today their plans for a Diagon Alley expansion for The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter section of their Florida theme park; today also happens to be National Peanut Butter Day, so I thought I’d suggest a way for everyone to celebrate both occasions at once — make your own Harry Potter-themed Strawberry and Peanut Butter Ice Cream!

In the second book, Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets, while Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione are in Diagon Alley shopping for school supplies, they “happily slurped” three large strawberry-and-peanut-butter ice creams. The dessert is currently available at The Three Broomsticks restaurant at Universal’s The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter area, but for those of you who can’t get to the Orlando theme park, you can make your own ice cream at home thanks to the Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook and the helpful instructions by Nikki over at the In The Kitchen With Harry Potter blog.

Butterbeer

Do you have an undying craving for some Butterbeer, the delightful beverage from the world of Harry Potter, but can’t get yourself to the actual Wizarding World of Harry Potter to get yourself some? Well then, Muggles, why not make it yourself?!

A new YouTube channel called Feast of Fiction is here to help. Their goal: to create the popular foods and drink of geek culture and teach us how to make them at home. Brand new, this Butterbeer recipe is only their second video—the first being the Sunlight Souffle recipe some of you may have found within the pages of one of the many books of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Sure, a simple Google search leads to multiple places that will teach you ways to make Butterbeer, but this one happens to look particularly tasty.

Also, the item for the Grand Prize Winner was purchased and sent directly from the Disney World Resort, so lucky winner, expect your prize in about 10 days.

Butterbeer - Universal Orlando Resort

Universal Orlando Resort announced that the one-millionth Butterbeer was sold today at The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter, the Harry Potter-themed area of Universal’s Islands Of Adventure theme park.

In honor of this event, 1,000 complimentary mugs of Butterbeer were handed out to guests at the Florida theme park today.

Butterbeer is the frothy beverage imbibed by the young wizards in the Harry Potter series. The Butterbeer sold at The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter is a sweet-tasting non-alcoholic version created from a “secret recipe” approved by Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling. The taste is said to be like shortbread and butterscotch, and the drink, which is sold at four locations within Wizarding World, is served cold or frozen.
