Have you ever wondered how to enjoy cannabis in a refreshing and delicious way? Why not combine it with ice cream? Cannabis ice cream is not only a delicious treat, but also a discreet and fun way to consume cannabis. In this guide, we’ll show you step by step how to make your own cannabis ice cream at home – easily and without complicated ingredients.
Why cannabis ice cream?
Cannabis ice cream offers a unique alternative to classic edibles like brownies or gummy bears. It’s long-lasting, perfect for warm days, and can be dosed to your liking. You can also experiment with different flavors, from chocolate and strawberry to exotic variations like matcha and mango.
What you need:
- Cannabis-infused milk or butter (basis for the effect)
- Cream (for a creamy consistency)
- Sugar or honey (to sweeten)
- Vanilla extract or other flavorings (for taste)
- Ice cream maker (optional, but helpful)
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Make Cannabis Butter or Milk
Before you start making the ice cream, you need to decarboxylate (activate) your cannabis. To do this, heat it in the oven at 110°C for 30–40 minutes. Then, mix it with butter or milk and heat it at a low temperature for 2–3 hours.
2. Prepare the ice cream mixture
- Heat 500 ml of cream with 250 ml of cannabis milk or melted cannabis butter.
- Add 100g sugar and some vanilla extract.
- Mix everything well and let the mixture cool.
3. Prepare the ice cream
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and let it freeze for about 20-30 minutes.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a container and place it in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes to achieve a creamy texture.
4. Enjoy!
Serve your cannabis ice cream with toppings like chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit. Be careful with the dosage—start with a small portion and wait at least an hour before adding more.
Tips for the perfect consistency:
- Use high-quality cannabis for the best taste.
- Experiment with different flavors like mint, caramel or cinnamon.
- Store the ice cream in an airtight container to prevent it from crystallizing.
