Ingredients

½ Cup Cannabutter, Softened
1 ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Cups Powdered Sugar
2 Tbsp Milk

Instructions

  1. With an electric stand mixer, mix softened Cannabutter and Vanilla until combined.
  2. Set mixer to Low and slowly add Powdered Sugar. 
  3. Once combined, add Milk and continue mixing until combined and creamy.
  4. 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.
