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.

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.

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.

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 marshmallows

Gelatin whipped with hot sugar syrup, cut into squares and dusted. Marshmallow takes no fat at all, so the dose rides in sugar dissolved into the cold bloom water, where it never meets direct heat.
