Have you ever tried making a dessert with your favorite CBD tincture? You get to satisfy your sweet tooth and take advantage of the CBD benefits all in one delicious bite — but who’s counting? Adding CBD to your favorite recipes has tons of benefits, especially if you prefer to hide the taste of your tincture oil. This is also a great idea for introducing your parents or grandparents to CBD. So, if you’ve been playing around with the thought of CBD desserts, but have no idea where to start, we’ve got four recipes you need to try!
CBD Edible Benefits
CBD has blown up because people love the therapeutic benefits it provides. Plus, CBD edibles are one of the easiest ways to introduce cannabinoids into your wellness routine. CBD is non-psychoactive, so you can enjoy as much as you want without having to worry about “tripping out.”
Sure, you may take a nice, long nap — but since when is that considered a downside?
Another benefit to edibles is they last much longer than other methods of consumption. They do lose a little bit of their potency with the trip through the digestive system, but they are still quite effective when it’s all said and done.
Okay, enough with the chit-chat. Let’s get to the sweets!
1. White, Red and Blue Popsicles
Remember when you were a kid and you ran around all day in the blistering heat, completely unphased? Then you plopped down on the porch, step, stoop, or curb to enjoy a cool popsicle? Memories, right? Let’s bring that vibe back as adults with these festive pops!
Here’s what you’ll need:
Sugar Water Mixture
3 cups water
1¼ cups sugar
(Red) Watermelon Layer
¾ cup sugar water
1 cup chopped seedless watermelon
2 to 4 drops red food color (optional)
(White) Coconut Layer
1 cup sugar water
¼ teaspoon imitation coconut extract
1 cup coconut milk
(Blue) Raspberry Layer
2 cups sugar water
2 teaspoons raspberry extract
5 to 7 drops blue food color
Directions:
1) The first thing you need to do is get your sugar water mixture going. Bring sugar and water to a boil until sugar dissolves.
2) Remove from heat, and let it cool. You can stir in your CBDfx Hemp Oil Tincture once it’s had a chance to cool a little bit.
3) Now you want to get your red layer going. Add sugar water, watermelon, and red food coloring to the blender. You want to blend until it’s smooth, and then pour it into your popsicle mold, allowing it to cool in the freezer for 1½ hours.
4) It’s time to get the white layer going. Grab a measuring cup and mix together coconut milk, sugar water, and coconut extract.
5) Pour this mixture on top of your red layer once it’s had a chance to set.
6) Place it back in the freezer, so the white layer can set while you work on the blue layer.
7) Mix your sugar water, raspberry extract, and blue food coloring to a separate measuring cup. Pour on top of white layer once it’s had a chance to set.
8) Place them back in the freezer one last time — to fully set overnight.
9) Take out of the mold and enjoy!
2. Lemon Blueberry CBD Mini Cheesecakes
What’s better than a cool slice of cheesecake on a warm day? You guessed it — mini cheesecakes! This recipe is super simple: you don’t have to cook anything. You just need to mix a few things and let them chill in the refrigerator.
Here’s what you’ll need:
12 of your favorite lemon biscuits
2 (8oz) blocks of cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
Pinch of kosher salt
¼ cup heavy cream
¼ cup blueberry preserves (or try blueberry pie filling)
½ teaspoon CBDfx Hemp Oil Tincture
Directions:
1) Line a cupcake pan with foil cupcake liners.
2) Place a biscuit in each cupcake liner and set it aside.
3) Place cream cheese in a large bowl and beat until smooth. Then, add in powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, salt, and CBDfx Tincture Oil.
4) Add heavy cream and beat until fluffy and stiff peaks form. Spoon cream cheese mixture over biscuits.
5) Place a dollop of blueberry preserves into the center of each cheesecake, and if you’re feeling fancy, feel free to use a toothpick to swirl the blueberries and create a marble effect.
6) Refrigerate for four to six hours, or until firm.
3. CBD Keto Cups
If you’re trying to get your summer body right and don’t need all the extra calories, then this recipe is just for you. You can satisfy your sweet tooth with this five-ingredient keto cup. Think of it as a healthy chocolate-peanut butter cup!
Here’s what you’ll need:
½ cup coconut oil, melted
½ cup raw cacao powder
½ cup coconut butter, melted
1 tablespoon CBDfx Hemp Oil Tincture
1 tablespoon maple syrup/raw honey, optional
Directions:
1) Line your muffin tin with liners, or you can opt for a silicone muffin tray.
2) Melt coconut oil and whisk in the cacao powder until it’s smooth with no lumps.
3) If you want to add a sweetener, add it during this phase — honey or maple syrup works well.
4) Once your mixture is fully mixed and smooth, take a ¼ measuring spoon and distribute it into muffin tins.
5) Add ½ tsp of CBDfx Hemp Oil Tincture to each muffin tin, making sure you stir it into each tin.
6) Place muffin tin in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
7) In a separate bowl, melt coconut butter.
8) Remove the muffin tin from the refrigerator and top each muffin tin with 1 Tbsp of coconut butter. Then place back in the refrigerator for 30 more minutes.
9) Once they cool, they’re ready to eat! Place the remainder in the freezer until you’re ready for more.
4. Strawberry Brownies
Most of us haven’t had strawberry brownies before, but they sound really good though, right? If strawberries aren’t your thing, feel free to swap this recipe out for a regular chocolate brownie box mixture.
Here’s what you’ll need:
1 box strawberry cake mix
2 eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup strawberries
1 tablespoon CBDfx Oil Hemp Tincture
Directions:
1) Preheat your oven to 350° F/180° C.
2) Grease your brownie pan.
3) Combine cake mix with eggs, oil, vanilla extract, strawberries, and CBDfx Tincture Oil. Mix well and transfer to brownie pan.
4) Bake for 35–40 minutes.
5) Grab a toothpick and stick it in the middle to see if it’s done. When the toothpick comes out clean, they’re done.
6) Cut into squares and enjoy!
