"Whispered Vows" - Cannabis-Infused Puff Pastry Brie Bites with Fig & Honey

"Whispered Vows" - Cannabis-Infused Puff Pastry Brie Bites with Fig & Honey

Suggested Dosage: This recipe yields 12-15 bite-sized pastries. Each pastry contains approximately 8-12mg THC (based on 3g starting material at 20% THC). This is a perfect party or sharing dose. Enjoy 1-2 pastries each. Wait 60-90 minutes before having more.

Terpene Pairing Suggestion: Choose a Caryophyllene and Terpinolene-dominant strain. Caryophyllene’s peppery warmth will complement the savory brie and puff pastry, while Terpinolene’s complex floral and herbal notes will elevate the sweet fig and honey, creating a balanced, intriguing, and conversation-enhancing appetizer.

An elegant, effortless, and irresistibly gooey appetizer. The cannabis is infused into the honey drizzle, adding a sweet, potent finish to these warm, flaky bites of brie and fig.

Step 1: The Decarboxylation (Activating Your Cannabis)

· Ingredients: 3 grams of a Caryophyllene and Terpinolene-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 Cannabis-Infused Honey

· Ingredients: All of your decarbed cannabis, 1/2 cup high-quality honey.
· Method:
  1. Using a double boiler, combine honey and decarbed cannabis.
  2. Heat over barely simmering water for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not let the honey boil.
  3. Remove from heat and carefully strain through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into a jar. Press gently.
  4. Let cool. This is your Cannabis-Infused Honey. You will use about 2-3 tablespoons.

Step 3: The Puff Pastry Brie Bites

· Ingredients:
  · 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  · 1 wheel (8 oz) Brie cheese, rind removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
  · 1/2 cup fig jam or preserves
  · 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  · 2-3 tbsp Cannabis-Infused Honey
  · Fresh thyme leaves, for garnish
  · Flaky sea salt
· Method:
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Roll the puff pastry sheet out slightly. Cut into 12-15 squares (about 3x3 inches).
  3. Place a small spoonful of fig jam in the center of each square. Top with a cube of brie.
  4. Brush the edges of the pastry with egg wash. Gather the corners of each square over the filling, pinching to seal and form a small purse. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  5. Brush the tops with more egg wash. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until puffed and deep golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven. While still warm, drizzle each bite generously with Cannabis-Infused Honey. Sprinkle with fresh thyme and a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt.
  7. Serve warm.
  8. Consumption Note: The THC is in the honey drizzle, which soaks into the warm pastry and cheese. For even dosing, ensure each bite gets a similar drizzle. The fat from the cheese and pastry aids absorption.
