Recipes

Cooking with cannabis is a fat substitution — you swap butter for cannabutter and the rest is ordinary cooking. So every recipe here stores the fat it needs and the dose it targets, and works out the split once it knows how strong your oil is.

Tell the site how strong your butter or oil is and every recipe rewrites its ingredient amounts to match.

Buckeyes

Peanut butter fudge rolled into balls and dipped so a bare circle shows on top, the way the nut does. Cold, firm centers are what keep the filling out of the chocolate bowl.

Chocolate fudge

Two ingredients plus the infusion, no candy thermometer, no oven. The most forgiving way to make something strong and cut it small.

Coconut haystacks

Mounds of toasted coconut bound in dark chocolate, set on a tray. Toasting the coconut first is not about color — untoasted shreds hold moisture, and moisture is what turns melted chocolate to sludge.

MainStandard

Creamy tomato soup

Canned tomatoes cooked down with onion and garlic, blended smooth, then finished with cream and a slug of olive oil once the pot is off the burner. Ladling measured bowls is what keeps the servings honest.

Golden milk

Warm spiced milk with turmeric and black pepper. Made in one pan in five minutes, with nothing hot enough to hurt the infusion.

Herb butter salmon

Roasted salmon finished with a compound butter that melts over the top. The butter never sees the oven, which makes this one of the most potency-efficient ways to dose a dinner.

SauceStandard

Marinara sauce

A long-simmered tomato sauce with the oil stirred in at the very end. Freeze it in portions and it doses pasta, eggs or pizza for a month.

Masala chai

Spices simmered in water, milk added after, infused fat whisked in off the heat. Nothing in it ever boils once the dose is in.

Mexican street corn

Charred corn rolled in a mayonnaise and crema coating, then cotija and chili. The infusion lives in the coating and never goes near the fire, which keeps the whole thing simple and predictable.

Mulled apple cider

Spiced cider warmed on the stove, with the infusion whisked in off the heat. A pot that serves a group, portioned into mugs rather than ladled freely.

No-bake peanut butter cups

Two layers, a muffin pan and a freezer. No oven, no smell, and the dose lives in the filling where you can measure it exactly.

Peppermint patties

An uncooked fondant of confectioners' sugar and coconut oil, chilled hard and dipped in dark chocolate. Firm centers are the whole game — a soft patty smears in the bowl and comes out a lumpy puddle.

Rocky road

Chocolate, marshmallows and nuts set in a pan and cut into squares. The marshmallows go in after the chocolate has dropped to barely warm, or they melt and the whole pan turns into fudge.

Shakshuka

Eggs poached in a spiced tomato sauce. The infused oil is stirred in off the heat at the end rather than used to build the sofrito, which is the difference between keeping your dose and simmering it away.

Spiced hot chocolate

Proper hot chocolate made with real chocolate rather than powder, which gives the fat somewhere to hide and keeps the dose suspended.
