Equipment
- Ice cream maker
- Saucepan
- Whisk
- Mixing bowl
- Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth
- Ice cream container or freezer-safe container
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon dried lavender buds
- Pinch of salt
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons cannabis-infused coconut oil or CBD oil
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, dried lavender buds, and a pinch of salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Slowly pour a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, to temper the eggs.
- Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, whisking continuously.
- Return the saucepan to the stove over medium heat. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the lavender buds. Discard the lavender.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and cannabis-infused coconut oil or CBD oil until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a clean mixing bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely cold.
- Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours, or until firm.
- Serve your Cannabis-Infused Lavender Vanilla Ice Cream and enjoy your sweet dreams!
Notes
- Adjust the dosage of cannabis-infused coconut oil or CBD oil according to personal preference and tolerance.
- For a stronger lavender flavor, you can steep the lavender buds in the cream mixture for a longer period before straining.
- Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
