INGREDIENTS:
* 7 grams high-quality cannabis flower (for the infusion base)
* 1 cup unsalted butter (you will use 1/4 cup for this recipe)
* 3 cups semi-sweet dark chocolate chips (at least 60% cacao)
* 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
* 1 tbsp high-quality smoky BBQ dry rub (low sodium)
* 1/2 tsp liquid smoke (optional, for extra depth)
* 1/4 tsp smoked sea salt (for finishing)
* 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
DECARBOXYLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
* Preheat oven to 240°F.
* Break cannabis flower into small, uniform pieces.
* Spread in an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
* Bake for 30-40 minutes until the material is a light toasted brown.
* Cool completely before beginning the butter infusion.
INFUSION INSTRUCTIONS:
* Melt 1 cup of butter in a double boiler over low heat.
* Add the decarboxylated cannabis flower to the melted butter.
* Maintain a temperature between 160°F and 180°F for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
* Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and cheesecloth into a glass jar.
* Measure exactly 1/4 cup of this infused butter for the recipe. Store the rest in the refrigerator.
PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:
* Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
* In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and 1/4 cup of infused butter.
* Stir constantly with a silicone spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is glossy and smooth.
* Remove from heat immediately to protect the infusion.
* Stir in the BBQ dry rub, vanilla bean paste, and liquid smoke (if using).
* Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
* Sprinkle the smoked sea salt evenly over the top.
* Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the fudge is completely firm.
* Using the parchment overhang, lift the fudge out of the pan and cut into 16 even squares.
CHEF TIPS:
For storage, wrap each individual square in parchment paper before placing them in an airtight container. This prevent the squares from sticking together and preserves the aromatic BBQ profile.
