Infused Tapioca Crepe
A popular Brazilian street food — crispy tapioca crepes filled with cheese and coconut, drizzled with cannabis coconut oil.
This cannabis infused tapioca crepe recipe brings the bold, savory flavors of Brazilian cuisine together with infused olive oil for a hearty, infused meal that is deeply satisfying. Brazilian savory dishes like pao de queijo, coxinhas, and farofa use generous amounts of fat, making them perfect candidates for cannabis infusion. Enjoy Brazilian comfort food with a measured, consistent dose. An infused tapioca crepe cooks hydrated tapioca flour on a dry griddle and fills it with savory or sweet fillings drizzled with infused oil.
- 1 cup hydrated tapioca starch (goma de tapioca)
- Pinch of salt
- Filling: shredded coconut, mozzarella or coalho cheese
- 1 tbsp cannabis coconut oil
- Sweetened condensed milk (optional)
- Sift tapioca starch through a fine sieve to remove lumps.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Spread a thin layer of tapioca starch evenly across the pan.
- When it turns translucent and holds together (about 1 min), add cheese and coconut to one half.
- Fold and cook 1 min more until cheese melts.
- Drizzle cannabis coconut oil and condensed milk on top. Serve immediately.
Dosing Tips for Your Infused Tapioca Crepe
- Brazilian savory snacks are often eaten in multiples. If making coxinhas or pao de queijo, keep each piece at 2.5-5 mg so eating 2-3 stays within a safe range.
- Mix infused olive oil into the dough or filling thoroughly. Brazilian cheese bread dough, for example, incorporates oil homogeneously.
- Calculate total THC in the batch and divide by the number of pieces. Weigh dough portions for consistency.
- These starchy, fatty dishes can delay onset to 60-120 minutes. Eat a controlled portion and wait before having more.
- Drizzle a measured teaspoon of infused coconut oil inside each crepe before adding fillings for precise dosing.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Frying cannabis-infused dough in hot oil wastes the THC as it leaches into the frying oil. Bake instead, or add the cannabis element after frying.
- Adding cannabis fat to farofa over high heat on the stovetop. Cook the farofa first, then stir in cannabis butter off the heat.
- Making pao de queijo dough too wet by adding extra cannabis oil without reducing another liquid. Keep the dough ratio balanced.
- Not mixing the cannabis fat into the filling or dough thoroughly, resulting in hot spots of potency.
How to Store Infused Tapioca Crepe
- Cannabis pao de queijo and similar snacks keep refrigerated for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 325 F (165 C).
- Unbaked cannabis pao de queijo dough balls freeze beautifully for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
- Cannabis farofa stores in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- Eat immediately; tapioca crepes become rubbery when they cool and do not store or reheat well.
Variations & Ideas
- Make cannabis pao de queijo by replacing the regular oil in the dough with cannabis-infused oil for cheesy, gluten-free bites.
- Stir cannabis butter into farofa with bacon and egg for a rich, infused Brazilian side dish.
- Fill cannabis-infused empanada dough with seasoned meat or cheese for a savory, portable edible.
- Fill with coconut flakes and infused condensed milk for a classic coco com leite condensado tapioca.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, pao de queijo is excellent for cannabis infusion. The recipe traditionally uses oil, which you can replace with cannabis-infused oil. The tapioca starch dough integrates the oil completely, and the strong cheese flavor masks any herbal notes. Bake at moderate heat to preserve potency.
Yes, but avoid deep frying in cannabis oil. Instead, make the coxinha dough or filling with cannabis butter, shape and bread them, then bake at stovetop. Baking instead of frying preserves the THC and is actually a lighter, healthier preparation.
Stir cannabis oil into your individual serving of feijoada rather than the whole pot. The rich, fatty stew of beans and pork is an ideal vehicle because the bold flavors and high fat content mask and absorb cannabis perfectly.
Cannabis butter is the most versatile for Brazilian savory cooking. Cannabis-infused olive oil works for drizzling over finished dishes. Cannabis coconut oil is used in some northeastern Brazilian recipes. Match the cannabis fat to what the original recipe calls for.
Mix a calculated amount of cannabis butter into the finished farofa and serve by the spoonful. One to two tablespoons of farofa is a typical side portion. Calculate the mg per tablespoon so you can serve precise doses as a side dish.
