"Moonlit Affair" - Cannabis-Infused Tiramisu
Suggested Dosage: This recipe makes one 8x8 inch dish, serving 6-8. Each serving contains approximately 25-35mg THC (based on 6g starting material at 20% THC). This is a very rich, potent dessert. Share one serving. Wait a full 2-3 hours before considering more.
Terpene Pairing Suggestion: Choose a Limonene and Myrcene-dominant strain. Limonene’s bright citrus will cut through the richness and complement the coffee, while Myrcene’s earthy creaminess will enhance the mascarpone and cocoa, promoting a happy, relaxed, and dreamy state—perfect for a romantic evening.

A luxurious, no-bake Italian classic with a layered infusion. The cannabis is incorporated into both the coffee soak for the ladyfingers and the rich mascarpone cream, creating a deeply satisfying and potent dessert experience.
Step 1: The Decarboxylation (Activating Your Cannabis)
· Ingredients: 6 grams of a Limonene and Myrcene-rich cannabis strain.
· Method:
1. Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C).
2. Coarsely grind the cannabis and spread it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until dry and lightly browned. Let cool completely.
Step 2: The Dual Cannabis Infusions
· Part A: Infused Coffee Soak:
· Ingredients: 2 grams decarbed cannabis, 1 1/2 cups strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled, 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional).
· Method: Combine in a jar. Seal and infuse in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours. Strain through a coffee filter.
· Part B: Infused Mascarpone Cream Base:
· Ingredients: Remaining 4 grams decarbed cannabis, 1 cup heavy cream.
· Method: Heat cream and cannabis over lowest heat for 45 minutes. Strain through cheesecloth, pressing firmly. Chill completely.
Step 3: The Tiramisu
· Ingredients:
· 1 1/2 cups Cannabis-Infused Coffee Soak (from Part A)
· 1 1/2 cups Cannabis-Infused Heavy Cream (from Part B), chilled
· 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
· 1/2 cup granulated sugar
· 1 tsp vanilla extract
· 1 package (about 24) ladyfinger cookies (Savoiardi)
· Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
· Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
· Method:
1. Make Cream: In a stand mixer, whip the chilled Infused Cream to stiff peaks. In another bowl, beat mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
2. Assemble: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the Infused Coffee Soak—do not soak, or they will become mushy. Arrange a layer in the bottom of an 8x8 inch dish.
3. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cream.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
5. Just before serving, dust the top liberally with cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve. Garnish with chocolate shavings.
6. Consumption Note: THC is present in both the coffee-soaked cookies and the creamy layers, ensuring even distribution. The high fat content leads to strong, long-lasting effects. This is a celebratory, indulgent dessert.
