Description
Weed brownies are a classic cannabis-infused dessert made by incorporating cannabutter or cannabis oil into a rich, fudgy brownie mixture. Perfect for a relaxing treat, these brownies deliver a long-lasting edible high.
Ingredients
Cannabutter or Cannabis-Infused Oil – This is the most crucial ingredient, as it contains the activated THC or CBD needed for the psychoactive or therapeutic effects. You can make it by slowly infusing ground decarboxylated cannabis into butter or oil over low heat.
Chocolate and Cocoa Powder – High-quality chocolate enhances the richness of the brownies, while cocoa powder adds depth to the flavor.
Flour – All-purpose flour is typically used to provide structure and the right consistency.
Sugar – Granulated sugar sweetens the brownies and contributes to their chewy texture.
Eggs – These help bind the ingredients together and give the brownies a fudgy or cakey consistency, depending on the recipe.
Vanilla Extract – Enhances the overall flavor and balances the cannabis taste.
Baking Powder or Baking Soda – These leavening agents help achieve the right texture.
Salt – A small amount of salt enhances the chocolate flavor and balances the sweetness.
Instructions
Step 1: Decarboxylate the Cannabis
- Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C).
- Grind the cannabis into small pieces and spread it evenly on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. This activates the THC.
Step 2: Make the Cannabutter
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
- Add the decarboxylated cannabis, stirring well.
- Simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Do not boil!
- Strain the mixture using a cheesecloth, discarding the plant material.
- Let the cannabutter cool slightly.
Step 3: Prepare the Brownie Batter
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together cannabutter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Step 4: Bake & Cool
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool before cutting them into squares.
Notes
- Start with a small portion! The effects of edibles take 30-90 minutes to kick in and can last up to 6-8 hours.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
- Label properly to avoid accidental consumption.
