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.

Pecan caramel turtles

Clusters of toasted pecans under a spoonful of caramel and a cap of chocolate. Caramel taken to 245 °F stays where you put it instead of creeping out from under the chocolate a day later.

Pecan pie

Corn syrup holds the sugar in solution so the filling sets clear and chewy instead of grainy. Cooling the sugar mixture before the eggs and butter go in is not optional — hot syrup scrambles egg on contact.

Pecan pralines

New Orleans pralines set by beating rather than by chilling. Cook to 236 °F, let the pot fall, then beat until the surface goes dull — early and they never set, late and they seize in the pan.

Pumpkin pie

Custard pie, which means eggs set it and eggs will crack it if it goes past done. Pull it while the middle still wobbles and let carryover finish the job on the counter.

S'mores bars

Graham cookie base, a layer of chocolate, marshmallows browned under the broiler. The broiler is the only real risk in the recipe — marshmallow goes from toasted to black in about fifteen seconds.

Seven layer bars

Sweetened condensed milk is glue and sweetener at once, caramelizing as it bakes and binding the layers into a slab. Everything above the crust is topping, which keeps the dose in the one layer you can measure.

Snickerdoodles

Cream of tartar is what separates a snickerdoodle from a cinnamon sugar cookie. It gives the tang, reacts with the baking soda for lift, and keeps the sugar from setting up grainy as the cookie cools.

Soft vanilla caramels

Chewy caramels cut from a slab and wrapped in wax paper. The finishing temperature decides everything: 245 °F gives a piece that holds its shape on the counter and still gives under a bite.

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.

Stovetop mac and cheese

A roux-thickened macaroni finished off the burner. The infused butter goes in last, once the pan has stopped steaming, because a hot pan both wastes potency and turns melted cheddar grainy.

Vanilla ice cream

Custard base, which means egg yolks, and the yolks are what make an infused fat workable here at all. Their lecithin breaks the fat into droplets small enough to freeze smooth instead of in waxy specks.
