This guide shows you how to infuse heavy cream using the herb cooker for a smooth, reliable result , no burning, guessing, or wasted flower.
Difficulty Level: Easy
Time Needed: 2 hours infusion + 10 minutes prep
Ingredients
- 2 cups (≈ 480 ml) heavy cream (35–40% fat)
- 3.5 grams cannabis flower (or trim, decarbed)
Equipment
- herb cooker
- Jar or bottle with airtight lid
Step-by-Step: How to Make Cannabis Whipping Cream
1. Decarb the Cannabis
Before you infuse anything, you need to activate your cannabis.
Place your flower in the herb cooker and run the Decarb Mode cycle.
This step converts THCA into active THC , without it, you’re just making herb-flavored cream.

2. Infuse the Cream
Once your cannabis is decarbed
Add 2 cups of heavy cream directly into the glass container.
Set to Oil Mode , it will gently infuse the cream over 1.5 to 2 hours.
Stir once midway if you like, but the cooker manages temp and timing automatically.
3. Strain and Store
Once the infusion is complete and cooled a bit, strain the cream using a fine mesh filter or a fine mesh sieve.
This removes any leftover plant material.
Pour the infused cream into a clean, airtight jar and refrigerate.
Tips for Use
- Use it as the base for infused ice cream, cheesecakes, or ganache
- Whip it cold with a hand mixer for topping pies or hot cocoa
- Stir into your morning coffee or matcha for a mellow start
- Use it in savory sauces (yes, cannabis Alfredo is a thing)
Storage and Shelf Life
Store in the fridge and use within 5–7 days for best freshness.
Label it clearly , especially if sharing fridge space.
You can also freeze it in small portions for long-term use.
Final Note
Cannabis whipping cream is one of those “once you make it, you’ll always keep it” recipes. It gives you full control over your dosage and lets you turn almost any recipe into an edible , from lattes to layered cakes.
