Cannabis ice cream

Whether you’re new to edibles or already a fan of space cakes and infused brownies, this frozen treat is easy to make at home and will have you smiling from the very first spoonful.

Friendly reminder: weed ice cream may taste light, but edibles hit differently than smoking. Effects take longer to appear, so always start slowly, portion carefully, and avoid the temptation to overindulge.

Step-by-step recipe

Now that you have everything you need to whip up a batch of cannabis ice cream, follow the simple steps below to experience this unique edible for yourself.

Step 1: Decarb your cannabis

Before your herb can work its magic, you need to activate the THC. Spread your cannabis evenly on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake at 110–115°C for 30–40 minutes. This simple process, called decarboxylation, unlocks the cannabinoids that make THC ice cream more than just dessert.

Step 2: Mix the base

In a saucepan, gently heat the cream, sugar, salt, and mashed banana. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth. Add the rum, butter, honey, and your decarbed cannabis, making sure everything blends evenly.

Step 3: Chill and freeze

Pour the mixture into your freezer-safe container. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, simply place the mixture in the freezer and stir every 30–60 minutes until it reaches a creamy consistency.

Step 4: Portion and enjoy

Scoop into bowls, cones, or cups. Remember: edibles can take up to 90 minutes to take effect, so start small and allow time before going back for more. For safety and freshness, store leftover cannabis ice cream in individual portions.
