Marijuana Macarons – The Best Weed Edible Dessert

The French know their pastry, and today’s recipe is no French exception! We’re making: Marijuana Macarons – The Best Weed Edible Dessert.

Where Did Macarons Come From?

A macaron or French macaroon is a sweet meringue-based confection made with egg white, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond flour, and food coloring.

The macaron was supposedly introduced to the French by the Italian chef of queen Catherine De Medici during the Renaissance.

They are the cutest, sweetest little confections you have ever tasted, and when you add Cannabis?

The BEST weed edible dessert EVER!

Would the French scowl at our take on their historic pastry or would they applaud us?

That remains to be seen, but if you love a sweet buzz with gorgeous results – then why not try a marijuana macaron at home?

How Do I Decarb Cannabis?

Edible Baking Tips

I’ve personally spent weeks mastering these macarons and I have a few tips to share with you because I am not the best baker, but I do try my best!

• When you are sifting your almond flour and icing sugar gently shake and pat the side of the sifter like you’re the Tamborine girl (or guy) in a folk-music band. This makes it next to impossible to mess up the macaron shells.

• Make sure when you are piping your macaroons onto the cookie sheet to give enough space between each one. Don’t make the circles too big or you’ll end up with a hot mess.
• After you’ve made all of your piping circles, give the cookie sheet a few gentle slams on the counter to get out all of the air bubbles.
• Don’t leave out the decarbing step and make sure you follow the video so you have perfectly activated weed!
• Measure out the ingredients meticulously! Don’t even try to adlib here. It won’t work out! I’ve done the leg work for you!

Cost: 25-30

Equipment

• Large Bowl
• Cookie Sheet & Parchment Paper
• Sifter/Strainer with very tiny holes
• Spatula
• Hand Mixer
• Piping bags

Ingredients

• 1/4 ounce Cannabis – decarbed (220 F for 20 minutes)
• 1/2 cup Butter
• 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour Note: MUST use almond flour, no subs.
• 1 3/4 cups Powdered sugar
• 4 eggs Separated – use egg whites only
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 1 tsp Green food colouring

Filling

• 1/2 cup Cannabis butter
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp Milk

Instructions

• Decarb your weed ( 220 F for 20 minutes)
• Add your butter and decarbed weed together in a small dish/bowl
• Next, strain your decarbed weed & butter with a cheesecloth ( don't squeeze) over a seal tight glass container or mason jar. A smaller size will suffice.
• Refridgerate while you prepare the rest below.

PREPARING THE BATTER

• Sift your almond flour and powdered sugar using a very small-holed strainer into a large bowl – note: sifting is key! You need to get the finest form of flour you can, and the only way is sifting. Stir with a whisk and let it stand whlie you prepare another bowl with more ingredients.
• Separate your 4 eggs , and use only the egg whites. Place them in a separate bowl.
• Add in your 1/2 cup sugar and blend with a hand mixer, you should have stiff peaks with your mixture – then you know it's ready to add the dry ingredients.
• Slowly add in your dry ingredients while mixing on low. Do NOT overmix!
• Add in a tsp of green food colouring, gently fold it in. No overmixing!

PIPING

• Fill your piping bag with your mixture
• Create small circular 'dollops' on your parchment lined cookie sheet( basically: one small squeeze about the size of a Canadian dollar/ loonie). Make sure they are far enough apart, as they settle they'll expand and you don't want them to touch.
• Let them rest for one hour on the counter, uncovered.
• Then bake them in the oven for 220F for 40 minutes

FILLING

• While your macaroon shells are baking, you can prepare the delicious Cannabis filling!
• Add 1/2 cup Cannabis butter to a bowl, and slowly pour in 2 cups of powdered sugar in small batches until all mixed up. Then add 2 tbsp milk. Blend with a hand mixer until smooth.
• Put your filling into piping bags.

ASSEMBLY

• When your macaroons are ready, let them cool for 10 minutes or so.
• When fully cooled, you can pipe the filling inside and make your little macaroon sandwiches!
• Enjoy!
