SWEETEN YOUR DAY: HOW TO MAKE CANNABINOID-INFUSED DESSERTS WITH TINCTURES OR ISOLATES

SWEETEN YOUR DAY: HOW TO MAKE CANNABINOID-INFUSED DESSERTS WITH TINCTURES OR ISOLATES

Desserts infused with cannabinoids are a fun and flavorful way to incorporate CBD, CBG, CBN, or THC into your wellness routine. Whether you opt for Mellow Moose Tinctures or our isolates, these desserts can take your baking adventures to a whole new level. Here’s a comprehensive guide to creating tasty treats while keeping dosing easy and effective.

 

 

1. WHY BAKE WITH CANNABINOIDS?

  • Delicious Delivery: Dessert is an enjoyable way to consume hemp-derived compounds, turning a simple indulgence into a wellness experience.

  • Versatility: Cannabinoid-infused treats can range from cookies and brownies to smoothies and candies.

  • Customizable Dosage: By choosing tinctures or isolates, you control precisely how much cannabinoid goes into each recipe.

 

 

2. CHOOSING YOUR CANNABINOID PRODUCT

MELLOW MOOSE TINCTURES

ISOLATES

  • CBD, CBG, or CBN Isolate
    A great choice if you want to focus on a single cannabinoid and precisely control potency (e.g., 1 gram = ~1000 mg).

  • Easy to Integrate: Odorless and tasteless, perfect for recipes that shouldn’t have any additional flavor notes.

 

 

3. ESSENTIAL TOOLS & INGREDIENTS

  • High-Quality Cannabinoids: Mellow Moose Tinctures or Isolates.

  • Standard Baking Ingredients: Flour, sugar, butter (or alternatives), eggs, chocolate chips, etc.

  • Measuring Cups & Spoons: Ensure accurate dosage.

  • Mixing Bowls, Baking Pans: Typical baking essentials.

 

 

4. USING TINCTURES VS. ISOLATES IN DESSERTS

TINCTURES: EASY MIX-IN

  • Skip Decarboxylation: Tinctures are already decarbed, so just stir them into batter, frosting, or sauce.

  • Even Distribution: Drizzle the appropriate number of drops or milliliters into your wet ingredients.

  • Flavor Note: Most Mellow Moose tinctures have a mild taste that generally fades in sweet dishes.

ISOLATES: CUSTOM POTENCY

  • Tailored Strength: Dissolve a specific gram amount into butter, cooking oil, or another fat source (coconut oil, etc.).

  • No Extra Flavor: Isolates are tasteless and ideal for recipes where you don’t want any hemp aroma.

  • Requires Slight Prep: Typically, you melt and stir the isolate into a carrier (butter, oil) before adding it to your dessert recipe.

 

 

5. RECIPE IDEAS

5.1 CBD-INFUSED BUTTER (OR TINCTURE-BUTTER)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter

  • 1 gram CBD Isolate (or desired amount) OR ~1–2 mL of CALM Tincture (adjust to your preference)

Instructions

  1. Melt butter over low heat.

  2. Stir in isolate until fully dissolved, or add tincture at the end and whisk thoroughly.

  3. Chill to solidify.

  4. Use in place of regular butter for cookies, cakes, or pastries.

(Pro Tip: If using THC tinctures like FLOW, measure carefully to ensure correct potency.)

5.2 CANNASUGAR OR TINCTURE-SUGAR BLEND

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 gram CBD Isolate OR drop in tincture a few mL at a time, mixing well.

Instructions

  1. Blend sugar and isolate in a food processor until evenly distributed.

    • If using tincture, drizzle a little at a time into sugar, stirring or pulsing to avoid clumps.

  2. Store in an airtight container.

  3. Use in any baking recipe or as a topping for fruit, cereal, or coffee.

5.3 SIMPLE SLEEPY-TIME COOKIES (USING CBN TINCTURE)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cannabutter or regular butter (softened)

  • 3/4 cup white sugar

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 mL SLEEP (CBN) Tincture (adjust based on potency needs)

  • 1–2 cups chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Cream butter and sugars until fluffy.

  3. Beat in eggs, vanilla, and tincture.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt. Stir into wet mixture.

  5. Fold in chocolate chips if desired.

  6. Drop tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet.

  7. Bake 8–10 minutes, until edges are golden.

(Note: Calculate total mg of CBN in your 1 mL serving. For instance, if 1 mL = 50 mg, and you make 40 cookies, each cookie ≈ 1.25 mg CBN.)

5.4 THC-INFUSED BROWNIES (USING FLOW)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup melted butter (or oil)

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1–2 mL FLOW (THC) Tincture (remember ~3.3 mg THC per mL)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Stir together melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and FLOW tincture.

  3. In another bowl, sift flour, cocoa, salt. Combine with wet ingredients.

  4. Pour batter into a greased 8x8 inch pan.

  5. Bake 25–30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

(Pro Tip: For 1 mL (~3.3 mg THC) and 9 brownies, each square contains ~0.37 mg THC. Adjust amount for desired potency.)

 

 

6. DOSING & STORAGE TIPS

  • Start Low: If new to cannabinoids, less is more. You can always have another cookie if needed!

  • Use Our Dosage Calculator: Mellow Moose’s online Dosage Calculator helps you figure out how many mg of CBD, CBG, CBN, or THC to add per serving.

  • Label Clearly: Store infused desserts in a marked container, out of reach of children or pets.

  • Track Freshness: Most baked goods last about 3–5 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge.

 

 

7. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Can I Use Tinctures and Isolates Interchangeably?
Absolutely! Just be mindful of differences in potency and how they blend into recipes. Tinctures are easier to measure by the drop or mL, while isolates let you precisely craft a custom strength in butter/oil.

2. Will Cannabinoid-Infused Desserts Get Me “High”?

  • CBD/CBG/CBN Isolates or Tinctures with negligible THC won’t produce a psychoactive high.

  • FLOW (THC) or Full-Spectrum Tinctures contain THC and can induce mild psychoactive effects if dosed higher.

3. Can I Make Desserts Without Adding Extra Fats?
Yes! You can stir tinctures directly into batters or doughs. If your recipe has minimal fat, consider using cannasugar or a direct tincture drizzle instead of a buttery infusion.
