Ingredients for Butterbeer Whipped Soap:
- 2 1/2 cups whipped soap base
- 2 tablespoons liquid vegetable glycerin
- *6 cubes of goats milk soap, melted
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of Shea butter, melted
- 4 cubes of clear melt and pour soap, melted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons butterbeer flavoring oil
- 1 tablespoon light brown mica powder
- 1/2 tablespoon white mica powder
- Beer glass
- 1 large piping bag
- 1 small piping bag
- 1 large and 1 small piping tip (see above)
- Scissors
*Each cube of soap is approximately 1 ounce
Directions:
In a medium-size bowl, mix in clear melt and pour soap and 1 tablespoon Shea butter.
Mix in 1 teaspoon scented oil and light brown mica colorant to the bowl.
Add 1 1/2 cups of the whipped soap base and mix on low with a hand or stand mixer for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Slowly add the cornstarch and continue to mix until cornstarch is fully incorporated. Continue to mix on low as you add in your liquid glycerin. Mix on high until mixture begins to thicken and is light and fluffy, much like frosting.
Add mixture to piping bag (or a Ziploc bag if you don’t have a piping bag and tip) and pipe about 3/4 of the way into ice cream glass.
Repeat 1-4 with the remaining ingredients, substituting the brown mica with the white.
Add white mixture to a clean piping bag (or a Ziploc bag if you don’t have a piping bag and tip) and pipe to the top of the glass. Allow to harden 24 hours.
Scoop 1 tablespoon of mixture onto washcloth or sponge and enjoy in the shower.
