How to make marijuana brownie
If you’re looking for an easy to make pot brownie recipe, you’ve come to the right place. The marijuana brownie is one of the most popular cannabis desserts and a classic at anniversary parties among friends, special celebrations, or even any afternoon of boredom. Who hasn’t ever tasted a pot pie from a colleague who got a little cooky? And who would have thought that friend today would be you!
Tips for cooking and eating marijuana recipes
First of all, it is worth pointing out certain aspects to take into account when eating marijuana, not only for this recipe, but whenever you are going to cook with cannabis. First, be cautious with the amounts and calculate the amount of buds you add per cake serving.
There is no average recommended dose per person, and the truth is that none of us react in the same way when consuming cannabis, so this point always causes some doubts. Ingested marijuana has a delayed effect, but more potent than when smoked.
You can buy CBD buds at Cannactiva.
You already know that the effect between smoking marijuana and eating it is very different, mainly because the former is much faster and less lasting than the latter. So, especially if it is the first time you are going to cook and consume marijuana, or if it is the case of someone who is going to share this brownie with you, it is advisable to eat it in small amounts to see how it affects you and wait to see the effect it produces.
The high from the pot brownie can take about an hour to kick in, so take it easy. This is an important fact, and you should remember it when you try the delicious marijuana brownie. Control yourself and don’t encourage yourself to eat too much chocolate cake, because the high will come all at once, a while later.
Choosing the right ingredients
The main drawback of this recipe is the risk of THC whitening from traditional marijuana. For this reason, there is a recent trend to use hemp flowers instead of marijuana, due to their zero THC content. Of course, you can use the type of pot that you like the most, or the most appropriate according to the occasion.
We remind you that the CBD cannabis flowers that you will find in Cannactiva are for external use. These products are not intended for ingestion. We have the best CBD flowers in Europe:
Importance of temperature when cooking marijuana
Finally, an essential culinary aspect for making recipes with marijuana is to make sure that the temperature never exceeds 120ºC. Heat activates the cannabinoids and is therefore essential to release the medicinal properties of cannabis. Through a process called decarboxylation, the cannabinoids in marijuana are converted from their acid form (THCA and CBDA) to their active form (THC and CBD).
The tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is released in about 45 minutes when heated to 104ºC. However, it is essential not to exceed 150°C or 120°C for more than one hour, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the cannabinoids. In other words, putting the oven on high may spoil the effect of the pot brownie. It is better if you cook at low temperature and take a little longer. Avoid setting the maximum temperature and the grill to 250ºC, because you will spoil all the THC and CBD in the marijuana!
Is it better to prepare brownie with marijuana butter?
Using raw cannabis in a recipe will not do much in terms of effects on this comforting dessert. Actually, the psychoactive component of marijuana brownies is marijuana butter. Therefore, marijuana recipes often include the prior preparation of cannabis butter. This additional step manages to extract the maximum cannabinoids from the plant, resulting in a cake with a very high concentration of active cannabinoids. The result will be a chocolate and marijuana brownie, high in THC and CBD.
I hope these tips will help you have a great culinary and cannabis experience with your marijuana brownies. Now that you know the secrets of the recipe, the preparation and tips for its responsible use. Enjoy!
Ingredients for the marijuana brownie
Write down these ingredients for a marijuana brownie for 8 people:
- 125 grams of marijuana butter. If you do not have marijuana butter, some people prepare it directly with 4-5 grams of buds. In this recipe the option is given, however, by doing it this way (without boiling and without all the butter preparation), the flavor is much stronger, grassy, and the potency is not necessarily superior.
- 4 eggs
- 100 grams of flour
- 80 grams of sugar
- 200 grams of melting chocolate, if possible, special for desserts. You can use 70% chocolate or higher, or whatever you like.
- 100 grams of walnuts (or as many as you like)
- 1 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon (optional)
- A pinch of salt
Step by step marijuana brownie recipe
Now that you have everything, the steps to make the marijuana brownie are as follows:
Paso 1 (sólo si no tienes mantequilla de marihuana): Descarboxilar la marihuana
Si, igualmente, quieres hacerlo con cogollos directamente: coloca un papel de cocina en la bandeja del horno y esparce los cogollos ligeramente triturados por encima. Colócalos en la parte media del horno (nunca en la parte más cercana al gratinador o a la fuente de calor) y caliéntalo a 110-120ºC durante 30-40 minutos como máximo, dependiendo de si habías precalentado el horno. Deja enfriar completamente y tritura los cogollos desmenuzados finamente con el grinder para que queden uniformes y poderlos mezclar en el pastel.
Paso 2: Funde la mantequilla y el chocolate
Si no tienes mantequilla de marihuana, realiza el mismo paso anterior, dejando reposar durante el mayor tiempo posible la marihuana finamente triturada con la mantequilla fundida.
Paso 3: Prepara La Masa Del Brownie
Paso 4: Hornear
Paso 6: Servir
If you share a house with other people, we advise you to warn them of the contents of the cake and above all to always keep it out of the reach of small children and pets. And if you are caught alone at home, put a label on it clearly stating what it is to avoid accidents. If you let your guard down, someone with a sweet tooth can eat the whole brownie and have adverse effects.
