Instructions
-
1Infuse cannabis-infused butter in the heavy cream over low heat for 30 minutes (do not boil). Strain through fine mesh.
-
2Heat cannabis-infused cream with milk in a pot to 176°F (80°C) (do not boil).
-
3Whisk egg yolks with sugar until foamy and the mixture becomes lighter in color.
-
4Slowly pour hot cream mixture into egg yolk-sugar mixture while whisking constantly (tempering — not too fast!).
-
5Return mixture to pot and heat over medium heat while stirring to 180°F (82°C) (crème anglaise). Remove from heat immediately.
-
6Stir in vanilla and salt. Pour through fine mesh into a bowl. Cool to room temperature in an ice water bath, then refrigerate for 4 hours.
-
7Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. For frozen custard texture: incorporate less air than regular ice cream.
-
8Transfer to a container, cover surface with plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours.
Pro Tips
- Tempering is critical — adding hot cream too quickly will make scrambled eggs. The cannabis infusion in the cream (not directly in the custard base) ensures optimal extraction.
