Vegan Weed-infused Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe

How many licks of cannabis-infused ice cream does it take to get you baked? Once you complete this recipe, you’ll have your answer 

INGREDIENTS

• 3-6 grams ground marijuana
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

• 1 can coconut milk (13-15oz)
• ½ cup cane sugar or maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

2. The following day, preheat your oven to 240F, add your ground kush to a small bowl followed by the coconut oil on top of it. Cover the bowl with 2 layers of foil and place it in the oven for 40 minutes to decarboxylate it.

5. Pour the rest of the coconut milk into a saucepan and place it on the stove over medium-low heat. Add the coconut cream, cane sugar, and salt to the saucepan and stir until everything is dissolved.
6. Keep whisking the ingredients in the saucepan and pour the cornstarch mixture into it. This is your ice cream base.
7. Increase the heat to medium and stir occasionally for about 6-8 minutes until the ice cream base thickens. Be careful not to boil.
8. Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in the vanilla extract, pour your ice cream base into a shallow container and allow it to cool to room temperature.
9. Once cooled, cover the container and store it in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

Vegan Raspberry Reefer Ice Cream

There’s only a handful of things we should be sinking our tongues into. Ice cream is definitely #1. Sweet, succulent, cold, and cannabis-infused; this is a simple 7-step raspberry ripple ice cream recipe for vegans. 

INGREDIENTS

• 3-6 grams of ground marijuana
• 3 tablespoons cup coconut oil
• 2 cans full fat coconut milk (one can is about 13-15oz)
• 1 tablespoon arrow root powder
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 4 tablebspoons cane sugar
• 1 pinch of salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup water

Raspberry Sauce

• 2 tablespoons cane sugar
• 2 cups raspberries (300g)

DIRECTIONS

INFUSING THE ICE CREAM

1. Place a mixing bowl in the freezer to chill. Preheat your oven to 240°F. Break down your buds, removing stems and seeds, and add it to an oven-safe container, spreading it evenly. Scoop the coconut oil and spread it over the weed. Place it in the oven for 30 minutes for decarboxylation.
2. Take the weed-infused coconut oil from the oven and strain the oil to get rid of the plant matter. Add the oil to a saucepan over medium heat and whisk in the arrow powder.
3. Grab the cans of full fat coconut milk and shake them before opening. Pour the milk into the saucepan and stir. Add in syrup, sugar, salt and mix until all the contents are combined. Whisk constantly, making sure the heat is not too high. The mixture should be warm but be careful not to boil. Keep stirring for about 6 minutes.
4. Pour the ice cream mix into your frozen bowl and store it in the fridge for two hours, blending it with a hand mixer every 20 minutes.

SWIRL IN RASPBERRY SAUCE

• Pour 1/3 cup of water in a saucepan and add in the raspberries and along with the cane sugar over medium heat. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the liquid thickens.
• Set a sieve over a bowl and pour the raspberry mixture into it, pressing the berries against the sieve to extract all the juice and pulp. Discard the seeds. You should now be left with a beautiful crimson colored syrup.
• Once your ice cream base has cooled, pour about  ¼ (it doesn’t have to be precise) of the base in a freezer-proof container, then drizzle some of the syrup over it. Add another layer of ice cream and drizzle in another layer of syrup. Do this repetitively until all the ice cream and syrup is layered in the container. Cover the container securely and freeze for 4-5 hours.

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably come up with the high-dea for cannabis-infused ice cream. Unfortunately, we don’t think any cannabis-infused ice cream trucks exist (although that would be awesome). So, we’ve come up with three different ways to make cannabis-infused ice cream at home, any time.

Turning store-bought ice cream into cannabis-infused ice cream

The easiest way to create weed ice cream is to simply infuse a pint of your favorite flavor with a cannabis tincture.

Let your pint sit on the counter until it’s soft but not completely melted. We recommend using this time to smoke a bowl, but that’s just us. Once your ice cream reaches chunky soup status, dump it into a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of your favorite cannabis tincture (175mg THC) and mix it up. Pour back into your pint container and re-freeze. Be sure label your ice cream to avoid unintentional dosing, and enjoy!

How do I make weed ice cream using cannabutter?

If you keep cannabutter in your fridge on the reg, then this recipe is for you. If not, no worries. You can always follow our step-by-step guide for making cannabutter.

What you’ll need:

• 4 Tablespoons Cannabutter
• 2 Cups Whipping Cream
• 14 oz can of condensed milk
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
• ¼ Cup  Chopped Mint
• ½ Cup Mini Chocolate Chips (optional)

How to make it:

Using a hand or stand mixer, whip your cream at med/high until firm peaks begin to form.

Next, combine room temperature cannabutter, condensed milk, vanilla, and chopped mint in a separate bowl.

Fold this mixture into your cream and mix until combined. Pour the mixture into a freezer safe container and freezer for a couple hours. Remove and stir in chocolate chips. Return to freezer for an additional 4-6 hours.

If not adding chocolate, freeze for 6-8 hours and you’re ready to scoop!

How do I make cannabis-infused ice cream using weed cream?

First things first, you’ll need to make your weed cream. *Pro tip, make a double batch and save half for cannabis infused coffee.

How to make weed cream:

• 2 Cups Heavy Cream
• 5-10 Grams of Flower (broken up)

Combine the heavy cream and marijuana in a medium saucepan. Cook just below a simmer for about an hour. THC activates around 220 degrees Fahrenheit, but higher temps can harsh your buzz, so it’s important not to let the mixture boil.

Then, strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer. Because some of the cream will evaporate during this process, you’ll need to combine your infused cream with non-weed cream until you’re at about 2 cups.

Mix with a stand or hand mixer at medium/high for about 30 seconds and then chill until ready to use.

How to make cannabis-infused ice cream with weed cream

• One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
• Pinch fine salt
• 2 cups weed cream, cold

Whisk together the condensed milk, vanilla and salt in a large bowl; set aside.

Whip the cream with a mixer on medium-high speed until firm peaks form or about 2 minutes. 

Fold about half of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture with a rubber spatula until combined, then fold into the whipped cream until well blended. Pour into a chilled, freezer safe container, and freeze, covered, until thick and creamy or about 2 hours. If desired, swirl in any mix-ins like crushed oreos, candy, or chocolate with a spoon. Pop it back in the freezer for 3 or 4 more hours, or until it’s scoopable. Serve and enjoy!
