3 Yummy Cannabis Desserts to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

Thinking of ways to include cannabis in your after-dinner treat? Weed-infused desserts won’t just satisfy your sweet craving but will also lift your mood to end any occasion off on a high note.

The versatility of cannabis makes it easy to add to anything edible with the correct preparation methods. If you enjoy cooking and consuming marijuana, why not add it to your favorite desserts?

Whether you’re an avid weed consumer or not, cultivating your plants gives you an endless supply of your main ingredient. Grow sativa and indica marijuana seeds to have the best of both worlds in your pantry.

Before we get to the tastiest dessert recipes, is your weed decarboxylated? It’s crucial to decarb your cannabis before infusing it into any edible. Simply put, decarbing requires “pre-cooking” your cannabis to activate all of the lovely cannabidiols locked inside. This heating process converts THCA and CBDA (non-effective compounds) into THC and CBD.

Eating Weed the Right Way

There are various ways to enjoy your weed, with edibles becoming a favorite among many consumers. Being educated about how eating marijuana affects you differently from smoking is vital. You may only begin to feel the effects 30 minutes to two hours after ingesting edibles.

A serving suggestion for all below confectionaries is to start with small portions and gradually monitor yourself after the first bite. Indulging in cannabis edibles as an after-dinner treat slows down THC absorption due to the food already in your system.

Any marijuana edible needs a key ingredient, which is your cannabutter and cannaoils.

Let’s get to those cannabis dessert recipes.
