The weather is getting hotter and hotter everywhere, so thank goodness we’re making Lemon and Coconut Cannabis Ice Cream.
I’m a sucker for simplicity.
I enjoy cooking, baking and creating in the kitchen – but I also really enjoy a simple, easy treat that doesn’t take forever.
This lemon and coconut cannabis ice cream is perfect to beat the heat, without all of the guilt.
Yes! Guilt be gone because you’re literally using fresh lemons, maple syrup, cannabis infused coconut milk and that’s it.
First things first, let’s prepare to decarb your weed.
Like many edible recipes, you need to prepare so if you can decarb your weed and create coconut milk in advance, you open the doors to making hundreds of more weed edibles in minutes!
If you haven’t done so before, it is a crucial step to making weed edibles, so don’t skip this!
Decarboxylation is essentially the conversion of THCa into THC or CBDa into CBD.
Without decarbing your weed, THCa and CBDa will not fit into the endocannabinoid receptor sites in your body.
This will most definitely inhibit the effects of cannabis that we’re after.
Many beginners make the mistake of not decarboxylating their weed.
Others do it incorrectly.
It’s the most crucial step in the cooking process as a miss-step will result in a less potent, benign edible.
Skip it or forget it and you’ll have a weak product that lacks the active cannabinoids.
Once your weed is properly decarbed, you can make a ton of great edibles using cannabutter, cannabis oil, and cannabis milk.
Then, the sky is the limit with what you can concoct and create with cannabis!
Now that you’ve got your coconut cannabis milk all ready to rock, the rest is simple. Promise!
Cut off the ends of all the lemons but leave the skin on. Chop them in quarters.
Use a blender, and blend together the chopped lemons, real maple syrup and about a 1/2 cup cannabis coconut milk.
Mix until creamy and slightly thick.
Pour into ice cube trays and freeze into ice cubes for an hour or so.
Pop the cubes out, and place them back into the blender, and pulse sparingly until you get creamy coconut and cannabis ice cream!!
We found these adorable ice cream bowls on amazon – doesn’t hurt to have a little fun while you enjoy edibles, right?!
