Cannabis-infused foods have become increasingly popular as more individuals explore the therapeutic and recreational benefits of cannabis. One delectable way to enjoy these benefits is through a homemade cannabis-infused Nutella. This rich and creamy spread combines the classic flavors of chocolate and hazelnut while incorporating the effects of cannabis. Whether you're looking to enhance your breakfast, elevate your desserts, or simply indulge in a tasty treat, this guide will walk you through the process of creating your own cannabis-infused Nutella at home.

With a little bit of effort, a keen eye for detail, and some carefully selected ingredients, you can craft a delicious spread that not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also provides the unique benefits associated with cannabis consumption. The process of infusing cannabis into oils or butters allows you to harness the power of this plant and incorporate it into a wide array of culinary delights. By following the step-by-step instructions outlined in this guide, you will learn how to properly decarboxylate the cannabis, infuse it into a neutral oil, and then seamlessly incorporate it into a homemade Nutella recipe that will leave you craving more.

 

 Understanding Cannabis Infusion

Before we dive into the recipe, it's essential to grasp the fundamentals of cannabis infusion. Infusing cannabis into oils or butters allows you to incorporate its effects into a variety of dishes. The two most common methods are:

 

  • Cannabis-Infused Oil: This is made by gently heating cannabis in a neutral oil, such as coconut oil or olive oil. The cannabinoids are absorbed into the oil, making it a versatile ingredient for cooking and baking.

  • Cannabis-Infused Butter:  Similar to oil, butter can also be infused with cannabis, creating a rich base for many recipes.

For this Nutella recipe, we will focus on using cannabis-infused oil, but you can easily substitute it with infused butter if you prefer.

 

 Ingredients

 For the Cannabis-Infused Oil

  • 1 cup of neutral oil** (coconut oil or olive oil are excellent choices)

  • 7-14 grams of cannabis flower** (decarboxylated)

  • heesecloth or a fine mesh strainer**

 

For the Nutella

  • 1 cup hazelnuts

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder

  • 1/2 cup cannabis-infused oil

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup milk(or a milk alternative for a vegan version)

 

 Step-by-Step Guide to Making Cannabis-Infused Nutella

 

Step 1: Decarboxylate the Cannabis

Decarboxylation is a crucial step that activates the cannabinoids in cannabis, making them effective when consumed. Here’s how to do it:

1. Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C).

2. Break the cannabis buds into smaller pieces and spread them evenly on a baking sheet.

3. Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.

4. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool.

 

 Step 2: Prepare the Cannabis-Infused Oil

 

1. Combine the decarboxylated cannabis and oil in a slow cooker or double boiler.

2. Heat gently on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Keep the temperature below 200°F (93°C) to prevent burning the cannabis.

3. Strain the oil through cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer into a clean glass jar, discarding the plant material. Your cannabis-infused oil is now ready for use!

 

Step 3: Roast the Hazelnuts

 

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.

3. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Once cooled, rub the hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel to remove the skins.

 

Step 4: Make the Nutella

 

1. In a food processor, add the roasted hazelnuts and process until they turn into a smooth paste. This may take several minutes, so be patient.

2. Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, cannabis-infused oil, vanilla extract, and salt Blend until well combined and smooth.

3. Gradually add the milk  (or milk alternative) until you achieve your desired consistency. You may need to adjust the amount based on how thick you want your Nutella to be.

4.  Taste and adjust the sweetness or cocoa level as needed.

 

Step 5: Store Your Cannabis-Infused Nutella

 

1. Transfer the Nutella into a clean jar or airtight container.

2. Store in the refrigerator  for up to two weeks. The Nutella may thicken in the fridge; simply let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before using.

 

 

 

Tips for Enjoying Cannabis-Infused Nutella

 

  • Spread on Toast:  Use it as a delicious spread on toast or bagels for a delightful breakfast.

  • Dip Fresh Fruits: Pair it with fresh fruits like strawberries or bananas for a tasty snack.

  • Incorporate into Baking: Use it in baked goods like brownies or cookies for an extra kick.

  • Top Pancakes and Waffles: Drizzle it over pancakes or waffles for a decadent brunch treat.

 

Dosing and Safety Considerations

When making cannabis-infused products, understanding dosing is crucial for a safe and enjoyable experience:

  • Calculate Potency: The potency of your cannabis-infused oil will depend on the strain used and the amount of cannabis. Use a dosage calculator or consult resources to estimate the THC/CBD content.

  • Start Low, Go Slow: If you’re new to cannabis edibles, begin with a small amount of Nutella and wait at least an hour to gauge its effects before consuming more.

  • Label Your Products: Clearly label homemade cannabis-infused products to avoid accidental consumption by others, especially children.

 

 

Conclusion

 

Creating cannabis-infused Nutella in the comfort of your own home is not only a fun and engaging process, but it is also an incredibly rewarding experience that allows you to indulge in the delightful and harmonious combination of rich chocolate and nutty hazelnut flavors, all while simultaneously experiencing the myriad benefits that cannabis has to offer.
