Cannabis Coconut Milk Ice Cream
Creamy 3-ingredient vegan ice cream with cannabis coconut oil.
This cannabis cannabis coconut milk ice cream recipe uses infused coconut oil to create a luscious vegan sweet treat that is entirely plant-based and perfectly dosed. Vegan cannabis sweets prove that dairy-free and egg-free does not mean flavor-free. Coconut cream, nut butters, and dark chocolate provide rich, satisfying vehicles for THC that rival any conventional confection. Cannabis coconut milk ice cream churns full-fat coconut milk with infused coconut oil into a creamy, dairy-free frozen edible.
- 2 cans full-fat coconut milk chilled overnight
- 3 tbsp cannabis coconut oil
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Pinch salt
- Scoop solid cream from top of cans and beat until fluffy.
- Fold in cannabis oil, maple syrup, vanilla and salt.
- Freeze 4-6 hours. Let sit 5 min before scooping.
Dosing Tips for Your Cannabis Coconut Milk Ice Cream
- Vegan chocolate with high cacao content binds well with cannabis coconut oil. Use 60%+ dark chocolate for best results.
- Cannabis coconut cream sets firmly when chilled, making it ideal for truffles and mousse where you need precise portions.
- Pre-portion into molds or scoop with a melon baller for identical-weight pieces with consistent dosing.
- Many vegan sweets are raw or no-bake, which means zero heat-related THC degradation and maximum potency.
- Mix infused oil into the ice cream base before churning for even distribution; use a standard scoop for serving.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overheating coconut oil causes it to thin out and separate from chocolate. Melt gently at low temperature.
- Adding water to melted chocolate causes seizing. Ensure all utensils and ingredients are completely dry before combining.
- Making vegan caramel with coconut sugar that burns at a lower temperature than refined sugar. Watch the thermometer.
- Not accounting for the strong coconut flavor in unrefined cannabis coconut oil when making delicate sweets.
