What's better than enjoying a cool homemade cannabis ice cream on a hot summer day? With this simple guide, you can make your own ice cream and add a special twist. Here's how!
ingredients and utensils
Ingredients:
- 500 ml cream (whippable)
- 250 ml whole milk
- 150 g sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 g cannabis butter (cannabutter, see recipe) obtained from LEAF GELATO e.g.
- 4 egg yolks
Utensils:
- whisk
- cooking pot
- Bowl
- ice cream machine (alternatively: freezer and hand mixer)
- Fine sieve
Step 1: Preparing the Base
- Put the milk, cream and sugar in a saucepan.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. The mixture should be warm but not boiling.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 2: Add egg yolk
- Beat the egg yolks in a separate bowl until creamy.
- Gradually add about half a cup of the warm milk-cream mixture to the egg yolks, stirring constantly, to temper them.
- Carefully pour the egg yolk mixture into the pot with the milk-cream mixture and heat again over low heat.
- Stir continuously until the mixture thickens slightly and reaches a creamy consistency (approx. 75-80 °C). Do not let it boil!
Step 3: Add cannabis butter
- Slowly stir the cannabis butter into the warm mixture until it is completely melted and evenly distributed.
- Add the vanilla extract and stir well.
Step 4: Cool the mixture
- Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps.
- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature and then place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
Step 5: Make ice cream
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
- If you don't have a machine, pour the mixture into a shallow bowl and place it in the freezer. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes with a hand mixer until it reaches the desired consistency (about 3-4 hours).
storage and enjoyment
- Pour the finished ice cream into an airtight container and store it in the freezer.
- Enjoy your cannabis ice cream responsibly and do not share it with children or people who do not use cannabis.
Important instructions
- Dosage: The amount of cannabis butter should be adjusted to your own tolerance. It is better to start with a small amount.
- Responsible consumption: Respect the legal regulations in your country and consume ice cream in moderation.
With these instructions you can conjure up a cool and creative treat that is perfect for relaxed summer days. Have fun trying it out!
