Recipe Details

• Active time: 40 mins
• Inactive time: 4-6 hours
• Servings: 8
• THC per serving: 22mg

This melt-in-your-mouth, rich and velvety recipe is best started the day before you plan to serve it. That allows the butter time to re-solidify, and the cake (and you) time to completely chill. Serve as-is, or dust with powdered sugar, top with fresh berries and whipped cream, or decorate with orange zest and sliced almonds.

Enjoy responsibly! KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN and don’t even let them lick the bowl/beaters. Never serve to anyone without disclosing that it contains THC.

Ingredients

For the Cannabis Butter

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup cold water
• 1/8 oz (350 grams) weed/stems, shake is fine

Note: this makes twice as much butter as you’ll need for the brownie recipe — you’re welcome!

For the Brownies

• 1 1/4 cups (214 grams) semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup (1 stick or 113 grams) prepared THC Butter
• 3/4 cup (148g) granulated sugar
• 2 tsp brewed coffee
• 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt (or 1/4 tsp table salt)
• 3 whole eggs + 1 egg yolk, beaten
• 1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, cold

Directions

Prepare the THC Butter

1. Warm the butter and cold water in a medium saucepan over medium heat until butter has completely melted.

2. Add the weed/shake and stir to saturate the greens.

3. Gently simmer for 8-10 minutes. Do not let mixture boil.

4. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof container. Discard leaves.

5. Let liquid come to room temperature, then refrigerate until butter has separated from the water and solidified on the top.

6. nOnce solid, use a spoon or spatula to scoop the butter off the top of the water and into a separate storage container. Discard remaining water.

Prepare the Brownies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8 square baking dish or an 8-9” cake pan with cooking spray or butter. Lay parchment paper in the bottom, and grease the top of that as well.

2. In a glass or metal bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. An electric hand mixer will get the job done fastest, but you can do it by hand with a little speed and a lot of patience.

3. In a heat-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips and THC butter together in 30-second increments until just melted, stirring in between. Once melted, stir until completely smooth. Let cool slightly.

4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, coffee, salt, and vanilla. Set aside.

5. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and egg yolk together. Set aside.

6. Slowly pour the butter/chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture and whisk together. Once smooth, beat in the eggs all at once.

7. Whisk in the Dutch cocoa to combine.

8. Take the whipped cream out of the fridge and fold in with a spatula. It will look a little streaky, but should still be smooth.

9. Pour batter into your prepared baking dish, and smooth the top with a spatula. You can shake the pan a little to get rid of bubbles on the batter.

10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the edges are firmly set but the center looks just a little gooey. If using a thermometer, the center should read at 195-205°F when done.

11. Place the brownie pan on a wire cooling rack and let sit for 10-15 minutes. Then, gently loosen the edges from the pan with a butter knife. Let cool completely in the baking pan.

12. Once cooled to room temperature, invert onto a plate, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours but up to overnight. When cutting, wipe your knife with a damp/hot cloth in between cuts.

Safety note: Clearly label these brownies to avoid accidental consumption and store securely away from children and pets. Ensure all recipients are informed of the THC content.

With these cannabis brownies, you’ll elevate any gathering—or your self-care routine—with a treat that is as luxurious as it is potent. Enjoy the process and savor every bite!
