Measure the infused ingredient
Measure the plain butter and cannabutter separately. See the cannabutter guide and the THC potency calculator for your own infusion.
Dose deliberately: potency depends entirely on the strength and amount of your infusion. Calculate the full batch, divide evenly and label infused food clearly. Effects from edibles can be delayed.
GATHER & MEASURE
Ingredients
Cinnamon graham crust
Cheesecake and topping
The cannabutter goes in the graham crust. The vanilla cheesecake filling uses cream cheese, eggs and sour cream.
FROM PREP TO FINISH
Make it, step by step
Press and bake the crust
Heat oven to 325°F. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment.
Mix graham crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. Stir in plain butter and cannabutter. Press firmly into the pan and bake 8 minutes.
Mix the cheesecake filling
Beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar on low until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla and sour cream. Avoid whipping in excess air.
Fill, dust and bake
Pour over the crust, smooth the top and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon sugar.
Bake 28 to 32 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still has a gentle wobble.
Cool, chill and slice
Cool 1 hour, then refrigerate at least 2 hours. Slice into 16 equal bars.
Questions about Canna-Churro Cheesecake Bars
Can I use a cookie crust instead?
Yes. Crushed cinnamon cookies work well; reduce added cinnamon sugar if the cookies are already heavily spiced.
How long should cheesecake bars chill?
At least two hours, though overnight gives the cleanest slices.
Can I freeze them?
Yes. Freeze individual bars well wrapped for up to one month.
KEEP COOKING
Keep the square pan out
Bake a pistachio bar, a maple blondie or a batch of brown butter cookies.
