There was a time when pot brownies reigned supreme as the most popular form of edible out there. Then came cannabis gummies, providing a tastier and much more convenient way of introducing cannabis into your diet. And then, an entire range of edibles came flooding the market. Officially, the first cannabis edible recipe was published in the ‘60s in a U.S. newspaper, although edibles have a much longer and richer history behind them. But instead of dwelling on the past, we better set our eyes on the present moment and take a look at what’s happening in the edible market right now.
To sum things up, brownies and gummies have been dethroned and a new wave of edibles is stirring the pot – pun intended. Creativity and innovation are the operative words in the cannabis industry, and that also gets reflected in the new cannabis recipes that continue to emerge and delight consumers’ taste buds. And the best part about it is you don’t have to roam the shops to find these edibles.
If you have a passion for cooking or at least don’t mind spending some time in the kitchen, you can prepare some of these delicious cannabis-infused foods yourself. There are numerous sites that cover a variety of cannabis-related topics and provide plenty of inspiration in this respect, so you have all the reasons to give these edibles a try. But if you’re not sure where to start your cannabis culinary pursuits, we’ve rounded up a list with some finger-likin’ cannabis edibles online for you.
Cannabis granola
Contents
What better way to begin your day than with a healthy bowl of crunchy, sweet and satisfying granola for breakfast? Many have touted granola as the ultimate breakfast food for its nutritious properties, amazing taste and versatility. Speaking of versatility, do you know what could make this breakfast powerhouse even healthier? Customizing it with a generous dose of cannabis.
A sprinkle of cannabis alongside your favorite granola add-in ingredients will put a little pep in your step for sure. Alternatively, if you prefer cereal bars instead of bowls, you can prepare a batch in no time so you can consume them throughout the week. Or, obviously, you can buy them directly from the store for more convenience.
Cannabacon
Sometimes, you need your breakfast to be extra hearty to give you the energy boost you require, so a bowl of cereal won’t cut it. But fear not, we’ve got yet another cannabis-infused food to satisfy your appetite. Cannabacon, just like cannabutter has become a staple for cannabis users lately.
Preparing yourself some nourishing weed bacon in the morning couldn’t be any easier. You just have to drizzle ground, decarboxylated flower on one side of the bacon, cook it thoroughly, and then do the same on the other side, and voila, you’ve got yourself a piece of crunchy and tasty cannabacon. As a bonus, you can use the remaining grease from the bacon for future cannabis-infused recipes.
Cannabis creme brûlée
If you’re a cannabis connoisseur, you probably know that creme brûlée is the name of a rare Indica marijuana strain. But if you’re not that versed on the topic, creme brûlée is just a tasty dessert made of a creamy baked custard base with a layer of caramelized sugar on top that cracks when you tap it.
Since we’re not delivering a crash course in cannabis strains, we’re obviously talking about the second product. For the preparation of cannabis crème brûlée, you’ll just have to replace the sugar coating with cannabis wax to replicate that hardened topping.
Cannabis tiramisu
Since we’re talking about desserts, we’ve got something that coffee lovers will definitely appreciate: cannabis tiramisu. If the mere thought of ladyfingers, also known as savoiardi, dipped in coffee and rum and covered with a generous layer of mascarpone cream cheese makes your mouth water, then this is the recipe for you.
Now, you can enjoy this classic dessert in an enhanced formula with cannabis as the key ingredient. Simply add melted cannabis butter to the yolks and sugar when preparing the mascarpone cream and then continue with the recipe as normal. It’s simple, easy, and incredibly delicious.
Cannabis kombucha
After all the sweets talk, you might need something extra healthy to restore the balance. Well, we’ve got just the thing for you: cannabis kombucha. Kombucha is a staple in the wellness world, with many advocates claiming it has numerous health benefits such as improving digestion, killing bacteria, boosting energy, reducing inflammation, and so on.
Since cannabis is also popular for its therapeutic effects, combining the two makes perfect sense. There are tons of recipes on brewing kombucha, but not so many on cannabis kombucha, so if you want to take the easy route, you can simply buy it from the store.
Cannabis ice cream
The cannabis edibles market has been dominated by baked goods, so a change of pace might be refreshing, as refreshing as cannabis ice cream. Since it’s already summer and the temperatures continue to rise, trying out a cannabis ice cream recipe can help you cool off.
Making this refreshing dessert is a lot easier than you might think, so you won’t have to sweat too much for it. You start by melting approximately 16 ounces of heavy cream, then melt some cannabutter and add sugar, mix the two together and throw in some nuts, chocolate or fruits for flavor. You’ll need to keep the composition in the freezer overnight and the next day you can enjoy delicious homemade cannabis ice cream.
Wrapping up
Although pot brownies and gummies remain staples in cannabis-infused treats and will always have a place in cannabis enthusiasts’ hearts, there’s a variety of other products that you can try right now, many of them much tastier than the good ol’ brownie. So, it would be a shame not to expand your culinary horizons with some new-generation edibles. After all, trying out new edibles can make your cannabis experience all the more interesting.
