Want to spice things up — or, in this case, weed things up — on Thanksgiving, but intimidated by the work? It doesn’t have to be that hard.
We’re not talking about stuffing a turkey with a half-ounce of Sour Diesel; leave the bird alone. But side dishes, primarily those with plenty of butter and dairy (or coconut oil, if you’re vegan), are prime candidates for cannabis infusion. Just have cannabutter at the ready or be willing to visit the dispensary to get some, and you can turn most of your Thanksgiving spread into an edibles arrangement.
To keep the stress minimal, we’ve listed some of the easy options here. But first, a point of etiquette: Make sure you announce to your friends and family that these dishes are infused; you don’t want to ruin your cousin’s job opportunities in such a tough economy.

Tart Crust Ingredients:
• 10 graham crackers (1 1/2 cup crumbs)
• 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 5 squares Satori Milk Chocolate Bar
• 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
Crème Brûlée Ingredients:
• 5 large egg yolks
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cup heavy cream
• Zest of 1 Meyer lemon
• 1 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar, to finish
• 1/3 cup mixed berries, optional
Equipment:
• 9” tart pan
• Sous vide machine
• Stock pot
• Quart-sized, freezer-safe Ziploc bag
• Culinary blowtorch
Directions for Tart Crust:
1. Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC)
2. In a food processor or blender, pulse graham crackers until crumbs are fine. Pour into a large mixing bowl and add cocoa powder and sugar. Mix until incorporated.
3. In a double boiler over medium heat, place Satori Milk Chocolate square in the top of the double boiler and allow to melt. Once melted, add chunks of butter in to melt. Stir with a rubber spatula until fully incorporated.
4. Drizzle melted chocolate mixture into the mixing bowl and mix well, making sure all crumbs are evenly moistened.
5. Gently pour crumbs into the tart pan and begin pressing using the bottom of a measuring cup to firmly pack the crumbs into the bottom of the pan. Use your fingers to tightly pack the sides of the pan.
6. Bake for 7 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to completely cool.
Directions for Crème Brûlée
1. Set your sous vide water bath to 181.4ºF (83ºC).
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add in heavy cream and lemon zest and whisk until uniform.
3. Pour the mixture into a quart-sized, freezer-safe Ziploc bag. Push all the air out and seal. Once the water bath has reached its temperature, place the bag in the water and sous vide for 1 hour.
4. Remove the bath from the water bath and place on a dish towel to gently massage and evenly distribute the contents. Snip off a corner of the bag and squeeze contents into the tart crust. Smooth out the top of the custard with a small rubber spatula. Refrigerate to set the custard for at least 3 hours and up to 2 days.
5. Once you’re ready to serve, sprinkle granulated sugar to cover the top of the custard. Point the culinary blowtorch over the surface of the sugar and move the flame back and forth until the sugar has melted and caramelized.
6. Garnish with berries and serve.
Cannabis-Infused Basque Cheesecake
Ingredients:
• 4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese
• 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp cannabis-infused honey
• 7 large eggs
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Zest of 2 meyer lemons
Directions:
1. Preheat oven at 500°F for at least 30 minutes. Use 2 large pieces of parchment paper to line a 10-inch cake pan with a removable bottom or 10-inch springform pan. Leave at least 2 inches of parchment paper hanging off the sides of the pan.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl (using a hand mixer,) add all ingredients and mix until uniform, at least 7 minutes. The mixture should be thick and homogenous.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place in the oven to bake at 500°F for 20 minutes, or until the top of cheesecake is dark brown. The center should jiggle like it is completely liquid underneath. The cheesecake will fall as it cools.
4. Chill for at least 5 hours in refrigerator before serving. The texture should be soft and fluffy around the exterior and soft in the center.
This Thanksgiving will be very different in this house. However, I am grateful for helpful and knowledgeable medical professionals from Toronto, that my new disease is not as bad as I thought so far. I grow some personal plants and use them daily in one form or another. Family is far away in CA. I’m in Toronto, but I’ll call or they will. Cooking won’t be as lavishly presented and some recipes will be left out…..and used at Christmas instead. It will be a quiet, warm, Thanksgiving. My girls will help that happen.
Hi, Anyone making infused goodies for Thanksgiving? This holiday is always a weird one for me. I like the mainstream symbolism of the holiday but I’m part Sioux so, you know… but I have the next 5 days off and I’m celebrating that I found some old cannabis yesterday hiding behind a drawer! I ground up 9 grams, a mix of ACS’ Rude Boi and Bask’s Temple Kush, and I’m making oatmeal cookies (I also found an 1/4 of Salty’s Animal Cookies!!!) I also woke up with a need to listen to Busta Rhymes and Liz Phair all day, haha.
