Start With an Infused Crust
The traditional crust for cheesecake is made with graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar with a pinch of salt. However, you must infuse this recipe from the bottom to the top. In order to do this, start by using cannabutter instead of butter in the crust. (See recipe below.)
Making The Creamy Weed Cheesecake Filling
New York style cheesecake is traditionally made with cream cheese, butter, sour cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla, lemon and salt. To ensure sufficient wow factor in this recipe, use cannabutter instead of butter and add additional strong tincture* (optional). (See recipe below.)
Final Finish With Berry on Top
Although you don’t need to add anything to top off this delicious weed cheesecake, topping adds to the wow factor. You can make a simple infused topping by cooking fruit, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice in a saucepan and cooking it until it is thick. Finally, stir in cannabutter and drizzle over individual pieces of cheesecake. (See Recipe below.)
