Here, we will guide you on how to whip up some absolutely delicious cannabis-infused toppings including both hot fudge and strawberry sauce, and then once you’ve got a thick and sticky syrup prepared, we’ve got a simple set of instructions that can help you to put it all together.

Hot fudge chocolate sauce with cannabis

For those who harbor a sweet spot for chocolate, this delightful hot fudge sauce with a hint of cannabis is sure to leave your senses tingling. This thick chocolate sauce won’t harden entirely, so it isn’t ideal for cones, but it can be great with a slice of cake, scoop of ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 5 minutes

Calories: 110

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup and 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/3 cup and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup of cocoa
  • 1 ½ tablespoons cannabutter
  • 3 teaspoons flour
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla
  • Pinch of salt

Tools

  • Mixing bowl
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Ladle
  • Squeeze bottle

Instructions

  1. Add the cocoa powder, flour, and sugar to a bowl and use a whisk to blend them together while breaking apart any chunks.

  2. Pour the milk and vanilla extract into a saucepan and warm it over medium heat.

  3. After a couple of minutes, toss in the cannabutter, and stir the mixture until it melts.

  4. Slowly add the powder ingredients to the liquid in the saucepan, whisking them together the whole time to avoid lumps forming.

  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer and then let it cook at that temperature for 6 minutes and stir the ingredients frequently while ensuring to scrape the bottom and sides of the saucepan to avoid scalding.

  6. Add a dash of salt to the mix and then remove it from the hot burner.

  7. Leave the chocolate sauce to cool, and then use a ladle to carefully pour it all into a squeeze bottle so that it can be safely stored in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.

Cannabis-infused strawberry sauce

Chocolate can be good, but this strawberry sauce is a topping that you can enjoy without feeling too guilty as it’s filled to the brim with fresh fruit chunks. This particular strawberry sauce is runny enough that it will absorb into baked goods like cake or muffins, and it’s delicious when it’s added to cheesecake, but the absolute best way to enjoy it is generously poured on top of an ice cream sundae.
