Sweet Cannabis Desserts to Get You Buzzing

Cooking with cannabis is like baking with a magical twist—it combines delicious treats with a touch of herbal bliss. Whether you’re new to cannabis edibles or a seasoned pro, these three recipes are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth while providing the perfect chill vibes. Let’s dive into the Dopest Dump Cake, Teeny-Tiny Cannabis Cookies, and Sour Mango Weed Gummies!

1. Dopest Dump Cake with Cannabis

Level: Easy

Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Servings: 8-10

What You’ll Need:

• 1 box of yellow cake mix
• 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
• 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
• 1 cup cannabutter, melted (see dosage note below)
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Layer Up: Spread the crushed pineapple (with juice) evenly in the dish as the first layer. Then, top it with the cherry pie filling to create a second layer.

Dump and Spread: Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the fruit layers. Use the mix directly from the box—no need to prepare it according to package instructions. Don’t stir—this is the beauty of a dump cake! Drizzle the melted cannabutter evenly across the top. Sprinkle nuts on top if desired.

Bake: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Dosage Tip: Use 1 cup of cannabutter with approximately 10-15 mg of THC per serving (adjust based on your preference). If you’re new to edibles, start with a smaller amount of cannabutter and supplement with regular butter to lower the THC.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before enjoying.

2. Teeny-Tiny Cannabis Cookies

Level: Medium

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Servings: About 20 cookies

What You’ll Need:

• 1/2 cup cannabutter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions:

Preheat: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, cream together the cannabutter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Add the Chocolate Chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips.

Shape and Bake: Scoop out teaspoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Cool: Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Dosage Tip: Aim for about 5-10 mg of THC per cookie. You can adjust the amount of cannabutter to achieve your desired potency.

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.

3. Sour Mango Weed Gummies

Level: Hard (but worth it!)

Cooking Time: 1 hour (plus 2-3 hours to set)

Servings: About 50 gummies

What You’ll Need:

• 1 cup mango puree (fresh or canned)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup cannabis tincture or cannabis oil
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2-3 tbsp sugar (to taste)
• 2 tbsp gelatin powder (or agar-agar for a vegan option)
• Citric acid (optional, for extra sourness)

Instructions:

Prepare Your Mold: Lightly grease gummy molds or trays to prevent sticking.

Mix Liquids: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the mango puree, water, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves.

Incorporate Gelatin: Gradually whisk in the gelatin powder (or agar-agar) until fully dissolved. Avoid boiling the mixture to preserve the cannabis potency.

Add Cannabis: Remove from heat and stir in the cannabis tincture or oil until evenly combined.

Pour and Set: Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared molds. Let the gummies set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the fridge for 2-3 hours to firm up.

Dust with Citric Acid (Optional): If you want extra tang, lightly coat the gummies in citric acid once they’re set.

Dosage Tip: Divide your tincture or oil dosage across 50 gummies. For instance, using 500 mg of THC total will yield gummies with 10 mg each.

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Keep them away from kids and pets—they’re dangerously snackable!

Cooking with cannabis doesn’t have to be intimidating—these desserts are easy, fun, and oh-so-satisfying. Remember to start low and go slow with your dosage, especially if you’re new to edibles. Enjoy responsibly, and don’t forget to label your treats so nobody accidentally eats a little too much magic!

Happy baking and buzzing!
