Cue the dramatic Harry Potter music…and action! Harry’s birthday is coming up so we better get to celebrating! We’ve all dreamed of the magic and insisted that we will just read one more page. I know we all wish and maybe even checked our mailboxes on the day we turned 11 to see if we received a letter to Hogwarts! So why not bring a little bit of magic into your own home for Harry’s birthday by making these Butterbeer Shakes and Pumpkin Pasties.
PLUS we have a Harry Potter giveaway also! Make sure you stay with us and scroll to the very bottom of the post.
Butterbeer Shakes and Pumpkin Pasties
You are sure to fall in love with these tasty treats. The cold Butterbeer Shake’s frothy mix combined with a warm flakey Pumpkin Pastie will send you straight to The Three Broomsticks! Plus, we’ve got two versions of Pumpkin Pasties for you – a savory and a sweet one.
Pumpkin Pasties Savory and Sweet
Preparing these pasties is super easy. You’ll be able to whip these up in no time, but we’d highly recommend involving the little ones. Create a Harry Potter memory together! We still can’t get over how tasty these two versions are. Be sure to try both!
The Savory mix.
The Sweet mix.
Roll out dough and cut into circles using a cup.
Drop a spoonful of savory and sweet mixture on to your pastie cutouts. Fold over dough and press together.
Crimp the edges with a fork to make your pasties look pretty and to seal the dough together.
Ready to bake!
Hot and ready to eat! These Pumpkin Pasties are delicious with the flakey crust and soft flavor-filled insides! Don’t forget, a side of Butterbeer is a must.

Your ingredients are simple. Cream soda, vanilla bean ice cream, butterscotch syrup, rum extract, and Cool Whip. If you don’t like Cool Whip, feel free to use whipped cream.
Mmmm…Butterscotch…
Ready to blend! Taste test after blending and adjust as needed. Too thick? Add more cream soda. Not thick enough? Add more ice cream. Can’t taste the rum? You get the picture…
