This simple recipe is a great way to enjoy cannabis edibles with a fresh twist — and you can customize it with your favorite mix-ins. Using the NOIDS Canna-Cooker to prepare your infused cream makes it straightforward and reliable.
Difficulty Level: Easy
Time Needed: 10 minutes prep, 3 hours freezing
What You’ll Need
Ingredients
- 2 cups cannabis-infused whipping cream (see our How to Make Cannabis Infused Whipping Cream for instructions)
- 1 can (about 400g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Equipment
- 2 mixing bowls
- Electric mixer or whisk
- Spatula
- Airtight container for freezing
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix Base Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
2. Whip the Cannabis-Infused Cream
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the infused cream using an electric mixer until firm peaks form. This gives your ice cream the airy texture it needs.
3. Fold Mixtures Together
Gently fold about half of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spatula. Then fold this combined mixture back into the remaining whipped cream, blending until evenly mixed but still light and fluffy.
4. Freeze
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze for about 3 hours or until firm.
Tips for Success
- Infused Whipping Cream: If you haven’t made infused cream before, check out our detailed guide on preparing it with the POT By NOIDS Herb Cooker. Proper decarboxylation ensures your cannabis is activated and effective.
- Customize: Add chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or fresh fruit before freezing for extra flavor and texture.
- Storage: Keep your ice cream stored in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn. Consume within a week for best freshness.
Why Use the NOIDS Cooker?
The NOIDS Cooker provides precise temperature control for decarboxylation, the process that activates THC in your cannabis. It also helps infuse your cream evenly, preserving flavor and potency without waste.
