Ingredients

White Chocolate Brownie For Swirled Colours

Chocolate Brownie Base

Separate white and dark chocolate batter ingredients with food coloring and sugar pearls
Measure the two batters separately. Set out the food coloring and sugar pearls for the swirl.

Instructions

  1. Pale white chocolate batter falling in a ribbon from a whisk

    Mix the white chocolate batter

    Place the regular butter & white chocolate into a glass or metal bowl fitted for a double boiler system or over a pot of hot water. Melt the butter & chocolate together.

    Whisk in the sugar. Whisk in the egg. Whisk in the vanilla.

    Whisk in the flour, baking powder & salt. Set aside.

  2. Dark chocolate brownie batter poured into a parchment-lined pan

    Make the dark chocolate base

    Preheat the oven to 325°F/160°C. Line a 9"x13" pan with parchment paper.

    Place the cannabutter & dark chocolate into a glass or metal bowl fitted for a double boiler system or over a pot of hot water. Melt the cannabutter & chocolate together.

    Whisk in the sugar. Whisk in the eggs one at a time. Whisk in the vanilla.

    Whisk in the flour, baking powder & salt. Pour into the prepared pan.

  3. A toothpick dragging purple, blue, and pink swirls through the dark batter

    Marble the colored batter

    Reheat the white chocolate batter over the double boiler. Divide into 3-4 small bowls, add the desired food colouring to each bowl & mix well. Randomly drizzle the coloured batter over the dark chocolate batter. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the colours. Sprinkle with various sizes of sugar pearls (big ones will sink).

  4. Sliced dark chocolate brownies with purple, blue, and pink marbling

    Bake, chill, and slice

    Bake for 25 minutes or until there is only a slight jiggle in the middle. Allow the brownies to cool at room temperature. Place in the fridge for an hour or two. Remove from the pan & cut.

    **Chilling before cutting will make for perfectly cut edges**

Notes

Only the dark chocolate batter uses cannabutter. If you replace one-third with plain butter, count only the cannabutter you actually used when estimating strength.

Before you bake the galaxy brownies

For the colorful swirl: the method calls for food coloring and sugar pearls, although neither has a quantity in the ingredient list. These are optional decorations. Divide the white-chocolate batter into 3–4 bowls, tint with a little food-safe coloring, then swirl gently through the chocolate batter. Scatter edible sugar pearls on top before baking.

Plan for chilling: the 45-minute prep-and-bake estimate excludes cooling. After baking, let the pan cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 1–2 hours before cutting. The center should be set but still moist; ovens vary.

Portion by the butter's strength: the recipe uses 200 g of cannabutter for 16 servings, but that amount alone cannot tell you the THC per brownie. Replacing one-third with plain butter reduces the infused-butter proportion without guaranteeing a particular dose. Use the THC potency calculator for an estimate, portion consistently, and clearly label and securely store the brownies away from children and pets.
