What to Make with Cannabutter

As edibles become increasingly popular for medical cannabis consumers, more people are learning to make these tasty treats for themselves. But if this is your first time using infused oils, you might be wondering what to make with cannabutter.

In this CannabisRxHealth post, we cover what cannabis infused butter is, how it's made, and what to make with it.

The goal of this post is to make your infusions as easy as possible. So, let's get started!

What is Cannabis Infused Butter?

Cannabis butter is butter – most of the time, unsalted butter – that has been infused with cannabis. Your weed butter may be potent. However, it might be a little weak if you're not using it to heavily medicate.

There are a few ways to make weed butter. But for the easiest method, you'll take some regular butter, high quality bud, toss the bud in a food processor or grinder, and put it all in a slow cooker with a few cups of water on low heat for 12 to 16 hours. Cannabis decarboxylation is always an option, but not essential.

Regardless, your weed butter is what you'll use in your favorite cannabis recipes, some of which you'll likely find in this post. But, simply put, weed connoisseurs and newbies alike have the opportunity to use cannabis butter to create so many recipes!

Sweet Things to Make with Cannabutter

Brownies Infused with THC

Traditionally speaking, brownie edibles are the go-to. Here's a simple recipe that will combine your wet and dry ingredients perfectly to get incredible gooey medicated brownies every time!

And don't forget to lick the spoon!

Ingredients:

• 1 stick of butter (unsalted)
• 1/4 cup of cannabutter
• 12 ounces of bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
• 1 cup of packed light brown sugar
• 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour

Instructions:

Step 1: Position your baking rack in the middle of your oven and preheat it to 350F. Lightly grease or butter your 9-by-13-inch baking pan.

Step 2: Using a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, melt your butter and cannabutter together. Add the chocolate and stir until it's mostly melted. Then, add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir everything until thoroughly mixed. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow it to cool a bit. The remaining chocolate will melt with the residual heat.

Step 3: Whisk your eggs in a large bowl until foamy. Then, whisk in your vanilla. Whisk your warm chocolate mixture into your eggs, but make sure the chocolate isn't too hot as this will result in chocolatey scrambled eggs.

Step 4: Combine the flour into your mixture gently until it's thoroughly mixed. There should be no clumpy flour, however, make sure not to overmix. Your batter should be perfectly thick.

Step 5: Pour your batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for between 20 and 25 minutes, or until you notice the top is beginning to crack with a glossy aesthetic. Once you remove from the oven, allow it to cool on a wire rack completely before you cut into it.

Cannabis Butter FAQ

How long to cook cannabutter in crockpot?

Simmer your cannabutter in a crockpot while maintaining a low heat. Keep the heat between 160 F and 200 F, allowing it to simmer for at least 3 hours. However, keep in mind, you can keep the cannabutter simmering for longer (up to 16 hours) if you add some water to your crockpot to avoid burning your budder. You don't have to stir constantly, but you can stir occasionally to keep it heating uniformly.

What is the cannabutter temp range?

Keep your cannabutter simmering between 160 F and 200 F. This is far less than the temperature at which THC begins to degrade. Once your cannabutter is made, keep in mind, you'll want to bake and cook it at lower temperatures to keep THC degradation minimal, as well.

Cannabutter vs cannaoil?

Cannabutter is made using butter while cannaoil uses coconut oil for extractions and infusions. Coconut oil is more saturated fat at 90%, making it a more effective cannabinoid absorber than butter, which has 63% saturated fat. Coconut oil also lasts longer, making it the better option.

Concluding on What to Make with Cannabutter
