Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream

• 1 cup whole milk

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 5 large egg yolks

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/4 cup cannabis-infused cream (we'll cover how to make this later)

Note: The potency of your ice cream will depend on the strength of your cannabis-infused cream.

Equipment Needed

• An ice cream maker (trust us, it's worth the investment)

• A medium saucepan

• A large mixing bowl

• A whisk

• A fine-mesh strainer

• An airtight container for storage

Preparing Cannabis-Infused Cream

Before we dive into the main recipe, let's quickly cover how to make cannabis-infused cream:

1. Decarboxylate your cannabis (bake ground cannabis at 240°F for 40 minutes).

2. Simmer 1/4 cup of cream with 1-2 grams of decarboxylated cannabis for 30-45 minutes.

3. Strain through cheesecloth and let cool.

The Recipe

Now, let's get to the good stuff.

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot (but not boiling).

2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks.

3. Slowly pour about 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. This tempers the eggs, preventing them from scrambling.

4. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture.

5. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).

6. Remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl.

7. Stir in the vanilla extract and cannabis-infused cream.

8. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled (at least 3 hours or overnight).

9. Churn in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

10. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm (about 4 hours).

Pro tip: For extra-smooth ice cream, blend the mixture with an immersion blender before churning.

Flavour Variations

Want to jazz up your ice cream? Try these variations:

• Chocolate Chunk: Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips during the last minute of churning.

• Mint Condition: Add 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract with the vanilla.

• Strawberry Fields Forever: Swirl in 1/2 cup of strawberry puree after churning.

• Peanut Butter Daze: Mix in 1/4 cup of smooth peanut butter before churning.

And yes I know these names are cool, you don’t need to tell me.

Serving and Storage

Serve your cannabis ice cream in small scoops, look I know you want to eat it all but remember, it's potent stuff! For an extra special touch, top with crushed cookies, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or a sprinkle of sea salt… you guys can start referring to me as Ganja Ramsay… Okay that one was pretty awful but I'm rolling with it.

Store your creation in an airtight container in the freezer. It should keep well for up to two weeks, but let's be real it’s not going to last that long.

Dosage and Consumption Tips

Remember, edibles can take up to 2 hours to kick in, and the effects can last much longer than smoking, so DON’T BE A HERO, I know you want to impress your friends but there’s nothing less impressing than taking too many edibles and then pranging out in the corner of your mates bedroom hunched over a bin. Start with a small serving (think one-half to one scoop) and wait at least 2 hours before having more.

To gauge potency, keep a log of how much you consume and how it affects you. Everyone's tolerance is different, so what works for your friend might be too much (or too little) for you.

To Conclude

So there you have it,  the ultimate cannabis-infused ice cream recipe. This isn't just dessert; it's a ticket to cloud nine, served in a bowl or cone, personally I'm a bowl kind of guy if you were wondering. Remember to enjoy responsibly, share with friends, and most importantly have a good time.
