Recipe by Chef Ronnie Fishman, words by Devon Scoble.
Ingredients
2 cups whipping cream (35%)
2 grams decarboxylated cannabis, coarsely ground
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional)
Method
Pour whipping cream into a mason jar and add ground cannabis. Seal jar and place in a deep pot filled with a hot water bath (Note: pot should be deep enough to fit the entire jar. Don’t submerge the jar – water should come to about ¾ of the jar’s height).
Bring water to a simmer. Use a thermometer to ensure the water temperature never exceeds 185 – otherwise the whipping cream may burn. Simmer for 3 hours, topping up water bath as needed.
Remove from heat and strain the infused whipping cream through cheesecloth or a strainer. Allow to cool, then store in an airtight container in the fridge. Note the expiry date on your container of whipping cream to determine best-by date.
To prepare whipped cream:
Using an electric mixer, start whisking the cream for a few minutes until it starts to thicken. Slowly beat in the sugar and vanilla, if desired.
Once medium to stiff peaks form, your whipped cream is ready.
(Medium-stiff peaks are just stiff enough to stand up firmly but with a slight curl at the tip.) Be sure not to over-beat – it will turn into butter!
Note: You can whisk this by hand, but do yourself a favour and use an electric mixer. Doing it by hand is exhausting!
