Cannabutter Chocolate Truffles

This recipe for cannabutter chocolate truffles is not only delicious but surprisingly simple. Thanks to the weed-infused butter, the decadent ganache filling also has additional health benefits like pain relief.

Ganache is equal parts chocolate and cream. It is made by simmering heavy cream, pouring it over the chopped chocolate, and then whisking the mixture.

According to culinary folklore, ganache was discovered when a pastry apprentice in 1850s France accidentally spilled hot milk over chocolate. Since then, ganache has been commonly used in pastries. Once you know how to make the weed infused ganache by following this recipe, you can use it as a filling or frosting in many other dessert recipes as well.

Benefits of Infused Chocolate Truffles

You can make this recipe with your preferred type of chocolate (milk, white, dark, etc.) for your dipping sauce. For the ganache, use dark chocolate of 60% cacao or higher. Many research studies have shown that flavonoids found in dark chocolate improve cardiovascular health- with a recommendation of at least 72% or more cocoa for maximum health benefits.

Cocoa’s other health benefits include memory restoration, immune support, inflammation reduction, minimizing oxidative stress, and muscle repair. Cocoa is also rich in iron, magnesium, selenium, and zinc. So, the cocoa in this recipe is not only delicious but also good for your health, too.

Herb-infused butter also has beneficial properties, which makes this dessert surprisingly healthier than it tastes or looks. You can make truffles infused with all kinds of botanicals that create your preferred taste, and aroma.  For psychoactive effects, select your favorite strain of cannabis flower or shake to decarboxylate and then infuse into the butter needed for this recipe.
