Ingredients

Softened butter, vanilla extract, powdered sugar and milk beside a stand mixer
Soften the cannabutter before mixing so it blends evenly with the vanilla.

Instructions

  1. Softened butter and vanilla mixing under the flat paddle of a stand mixer

    Mix the butter and vanilla

    With an electric stand mixer, mix softened Cannabutter and Vanilla until combined.

  2. Powdered sugar being added in small scoops to the stand mixer bowl

    Add the powdered sugar slowly

    Set mixer to Low and slowly add Powdered Sugar. 

  3. A small glass pitcher adding milk to thick frosting in the mixer bowl

    Mix in the milk

    Once combined, add Milk and continue mixing until combined and creamy.

  4. Creamy buttercream stored in a covered container on a refrigerator shelf

    Refrigerate the frosting

    Store in refrigerator.

For smooth, pipeable buttercream

Start with softened, not melted, cannabutter. Beat with vanilla, then add powdered sugar gradually on low speed. Add the milk a little at a time and beat until smooth; use less for firmer piping or a little more for spreadable icing. Chill briefly if the icing is too soft.

Storage and infused servings

Keep leftover buttercream covered in the refrigerator at 40°F (4°C) or colder. Let it soften just enough to spread and re-whip if needed. If the cannabutter is infused, label the frosting clearly and keep it securely away from children and pets.

THC per serving depends on the cannabutter used, how evenly it mixes and how much frosting goes on each portion. The THC potency calculator provides an estimate, not a verified dose. Edible effects may take 30 minutes to 2 hours to appear.
