THC Infused Ice Cream
There’s nothing like a creamy, dreamy scoop of THC-infused ice cream to chill out after a long day. Whether you’re a fan of rich chocolate, refreshing vanilla, or bold fruit flavors, this recipe is the ultimate treat for your taste buds and your mind.
How to Make THC Infused Ice Cream
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream (cold).
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk.
- 2 tsp vanilla extract.
- 1-2 tbsp THC-infused butter or cream.
- Fun toppings!
Tools:
- A large mixing bowl.
- Hand mixer or whisk.
- Spatula.
- Freezer-safe container with a lid.
- Plastic wrap.
Instructions:
1. Start with Decarboxylation: Decarboxylate your cannabis to activate the THC. This step is crucial for making your ice cream extra special but if you dont know how to do it, take a look to my decarb guide!
2. Prep Your Infusion: Infuse your cream or butter by gently heating it with decarboxylated cannabis for 45 minutes to an hour (Strain out the plant material before using).
3. Whip the Cream: Pour your heavy cream into a mixing bowl and whisk until it forms soft peaks. If you’re using a hand mixer, this takes about 2-3 minutes. If whisking by hand, feel free to reward yourself with an extra scoop later. 😉
4. Combine with Condensed Milk: Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk using a spatula. This keeps your mixture fluffy and light. Think of it like giving your cream a comforting hug.
5. Infuse the Magic: Stir in your THC-infused cream or melted butter. For extra flavor, mix in the vanilla extract here too. Double-check your dosage if you want to keep things chill or go a little wilder.
6. Customize Your Flavor: Now’s the time to have fun! Fold in your fav toppings from cookie crumbles to peanut butter swirls!
7. Freeze It: Transfer the mixture to your freezer-safe container. Smooth the top, then press plastic wrap directly onto the surface (this helps prevent ice crystals). Pop the lid on and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight if you can wait that long!
Tips For Better THC Infused Ice Cream
Creating the perfect THC infused ice cream involves not only following a recipe but also paying attention to some tips that can enhance the flavor, texture, and overall experience:
- Chill Your Equipment: Keep your mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before whipping the cream. Cold tools help the cream whip faster and better.
- Strain Thoroughly: Ensure no plant material gets into your infusion to avoid gritty textures in the final product.
- Flavor Balancing: Taste your base before freezing and adjust sweetness or flavoring as needed. Infusions can sometimes add an earthy note, so balance it with extra vanilla or a touch of citrus zest.
- Avoid Ice Crystals: Always use plastic wrap directly on the surface of your ice cream before freezing.
Serving Suggestions
1. A few strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries offer a burst of freshness that contrasts nicely with the richness of the cake.
2. A small cup of coffee or a shot of espresso can complement and enhance the cake’s flavors.
3. Teas like chamomile, peppermint, or ginger can offer soothing and aromatic flavors that complement the cake’s taste.
