Gather Your Ingredients for Cannabis-Infused Macaroons

Ensure you have all the required elements on-hand, such as shredded unsweetened coconut, sweetened condensed milk, cannabis-infused oil or butter, egg whites, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt before beginning to bake.

• 3 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
• ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
• ¼ cup cannabis-infused coconut oil or butter (see next section for preparation)
• 2 large egg whites
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

For an extra kick, consider adding chocolate chips or dried fruit to your macaroons, and don't forget to add your favorite toppings and drizzles after baking.

Cannabis-Infused Coconut Oil vs. Butter: Which One to Use?

Choosing between cannabis-infused coconut oil or butter depends on your preference and dietary restrictions. Infused coconut oil is dairy-free and has a subtle tropical taste, while cannabutter has a more traditional cookie-like flavor profile.

Remember to pay attention to the dosage of your infused oil or butter to control the potency of each macaroon and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Prepare Cannabis-Infused Coconut Oil or Butter

To create the perfect cannabis macaroons, you'll need to start with a potent and flavorful cannabis-infused coconut oil or butter. This infusion process is crucial for evenly distributing THC throughout your macaroons while also providing a delicious taste. If you're new to making infusions, don't worry - we've got you covered.

Decarboxylate Your Cannabis

Before infusing your oil or butter, it's essential to decarboxylate your cannabis. Decarbing activates the THC in the plant material by converting THCA into psychoactive THC through heat exposure. To decarb, simply spread ground cannabis on a baking sheet and bake at 240°F (115°C) for 30-40 minutes.

Create Your Infusion

You can choose between using coconut oil or butter as your base for this recipe; both work well but offer slightly different flavors and consistencies. Here are simple steps to follow:

1. Melt one cup of coconut oil or unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat.
2. Add decarbed cannabis (7g -14g depending on desired potency) into the melted oil/butter and mix thoroughly.
3. Cook mixture over low heat for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
4. Strain out plant material using cheesecloth placed over a glass container - be sure not to squeeze too hard as that could release unwanted chlorophyll into the infused liquid.

Your homemade cannabis-infused coconut oil or butter is now ready to use in your macaroon recipe. Remember, the potency of your infusion will depend on the amount and quality of cannabis used, so adjust accordingly for desired effects.

Dosage Control

When making edibles like these macaroons, it's crucial to be mindful of dosage control. Start with a small serving size (1-2 macaroons) and wait at least an hour before consuming more to gauge how the THC affects you. If you're unsure about dosing, consider using a THC calculator as a helpful tool for determining appropriate amounts based on individual preferences and tolerance levels.

Blend the mixture of cannabis-infused coconut oil or butter, shredded unsweetened coconut, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla/almond extract in a large bowl before shaping into one-inch balls before baking at 325°F (163°C) to get golden brown results. For an extra kick, consider adding some magic truffle pieces into each ball before shaping, but be sure to keep track of dosages and inform anyone consuming them.

Bake Your Cannabis-Infused Macaroons to Perfection

Get ready to bake your cannabis-infused macaroons to perfection by paying attention to temperature and timing, ensuring they're cooked evenly without losing their potency. The recipe makes a decent amount of macaroons, so you won't have to worry about going hungry.

Set the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat before dropping mounds of macaroon mixture onto it. Then, drop rounded mounds of the macaroon mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart, and gently press down on each mound with moistened fingers to slightly flatten and shape them into uniform rounds.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center, making sure to keep an eye on them during this process to avoid overbaking, which can cause dryness and reduce their potency due to cannabinoid degradation at high temperatures.

Store Your Cannabis Macaroons Properly

For optimal freshness and potency, store cannabis macaroons in an airtight container away from direct sunlight or heat sources at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage periods, consider freezing them in freezer-safe containers or bags, but make sure they are fully cooled before doing so.

Customize Your Cannabis Macaroons

Customize your cannabis-infused coconut macaroons by adding your favorite flavors and toppings while controlling the dosage.

• Flavorings: Add a few drops of flavored extracts like vanilla, almond, or lemon to the batter before baking for an extra layer of taste.
• Toppings: Drizzle melted chocolate (dark, milk, or white) over cooled macaroons and sprinkle with crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or sea salt for added texture and flavor.
• Dosage Control: Make half of them with regular coconut oil instead of cannabis-infused oil to enjoy multiple treats without getting too high.

Remember that responsible consumption is key, so start with a small portion and wait at least an hour before consuming more to gauge its effects on your body. Enjoy these delicious medicated treats responsibly.

Get creative with your medicated macaroons by adding flavorings and toppings to make them even more enjoyable.

Add Flavorings

Experiment with different extracts or spices to create unique flavors, like adding cannabis chocolate chips, granulated sugar or orange zest.

Toppings Galore

Pile on the toppings by drizzling melted dark chocolate or dipping each cookie halfway into white chocolate, then sprinkle chopped nuts, shredded coconut or powdered sugar on top. You can also use a piping bag to create tasty patterns.

Dosage Control

Be mindful of dosing amounts per serving size based on individual tolerance levels, adjust the amount of cannabis-infused oil or butter used, or create smaller-sized macaroons to control dosage.

With these customization tips, you can create delicious and unique cannabis-infused macaroons that cater to individual preferences while ensuring responsible consumption practices are followed.
