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.

DessertStandard

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.

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.

Banana nut muffins

Muffin-method batter mixed by hand in one bowl, with bananas dark enough that the skins are mostly black. A high opening oven temperature is what gives the tops their dome.

Belgian waffles

Deep-pocket waffles leavened with baking powder and lightened with whipped whites. Crispness comes from a fully preheated iron and leaving the lid shut until the steam slows down.

Blueberry scones

Cold butter, a light hand and two folds are what separate a flaky scone from a sweet biscuit. Infused butter straight from the refrigerator behaves like any other cold butter here.

Brown butter chocolate chip cookies

The standard creamed-butter drop cookie, with the butter browned first. Browning drives off water and deepens the flavor enough to cover any grassiness in the infusion.

Brown sugar shortbread

The classic one-two-three ratio: one part sugar, two parts butter, three parts flour. Almost half of it is butter, which makes it one of the most efficient carriers on the site.

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.

Caramel corn

Baked low to set the caramel, then finished with infused butter off the heat. Most versions stir the infusion into boiling caramel and then bake it for 45 minutes, which throws away a good share of what you made.

Carrot cake cupcakes

Cupcakes solve the portioning problem a layer cake creates, and putting the infusion in the cream cheese frosting solves the heat problem — frosting is never cooked, so nothing is lost on the way.

Chocolate chip muffins

An oil-based muffin, which makes it one-bowl and forgiving. Portioned into a pan with twelve equal wells, which is the easiest even dosing you can get from a baked good.

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

Chocolate truffles

Ganache is an emulsion of cream into chocolate, and it breaks for the same reasons mayonnaise does. Warm cream, finely chopped chocolate and stirring from the center out are what keep it together.

Cinnamon rolls

Soft enriched rolls where the infusion lives in the cinnamon filling instead of the dough. The filling is shielded by the dough around it, and rolling a spiral spreads it across every roll evenly.

Crispy rice cereal treats

No oven and about ten minutes of work. The marshmallow goes on the heat, the infusion goes in after, and the whole thing lives or dies on how evenly you press the pan.

Fudgy one-bowl brownies

A high-fat, low-flour brownie that bakes dense rather than cakey. The cocoa does most of the work of hiding the infusion.

New York cheesecake

Water bath, low oven and a slow cool-down are the three things standing between you and a cracked top. The infusion sits in the graham crust, where it spreads flat and portions with the slice.

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.

Oatmeal raisin cookies

Old-fashioned rolled oats hold their shape and give the cookie its chew; quick oats dissolve into the dough and leave it cakey. Plumping the raisins first stops them pulling moisture out of the crumb.

Peanut butter cookies

Four ingredients plus flour, and the fork marks are structural rather than decorative — the dough barely spreads, so the thickness you press is the thickness you bake. Roasted peanut covers an infusion better than almost anything.

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.
