Cannabis-infused purple sweet potato pie
- Prep time: 60 minutes
- Bake time: 45 minutes
- Total time: 1 hour and 45 minutes
- Servings: 8
- Equipment needed: Mixing bowls, whisk, rolling pin, 9-inch pie dish, steamer pot or baking tray, hand mixer, spatula
Pie crust ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour
- 3 tablespoons (tbsp) coconut palm sugar (or the sugar substitute of your choice)
- 1/2 teaspoons (tsp) salt
- 1/2 cup ice water
- 1/4 cup cold vegan butter
- 1/4 cup cold vegetable shortening
Pie filling ingredients
- 1 pound purple sweet potatoes (roughly two medium-sized potatoes)
- 3/4 cup coconut milk or cream
- 1/2 cup date sugar or the sugar substitute of your choice
- 1/2 cup agave or the sugar substitute of your choice
- 2 tsp organic vanilla bean paste
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 tsp cornstarch
- 4 tsp cannabis-infused butter, melted
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, coconut palm sugar, and salt until well combined. Use a fork or a pastry cutter to cut the butter and shortening into the mixture until the texture resembles sand.
- Add the ice water 2 tbsp at a time, using your hands to incorporate it into the mixture. Continue to add small amounts of ice water until the mixture forms a dough consistency.
- Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a ball. With a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a circle and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Form the dough inside of the dish and use a fork to crimp the edges along the rim. Place your raw pie crust in the refrigerator until you’ve made the pie filling.
- Cook your purple sweet potatoes by either steaming them in a steamer pot or baking them in a 400°F oven for 30 to 40 minutes. They should be fork-tender, and the skin should peel off easily.
- Peel the skins off your potatoes and mash them using a fork or potato masher.
- Combine the potatoes, coconut milk or cream, date sugar, agave, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and cornstarch in a large mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients well with a hand mixer. Mix in the cannabis-infused butter.
- Pour the filling into the pie crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake the pie at 350°F for 45 to 50 minutes or until the center is slightly jiggly. If the crust begins to burn, use a pie shield or cover the edges with aluminum foil for the last half of baking.
- Allow the pie to cool for about an hour before serving. Once cooled, cut the pie into eight slices and serve with vegan whipped cream, if desired.
How to dose cannabis-infused purple sweet potato pie
The strength of your pie depends on the strength of your cannabis-infused butter and the number of servings in the recipe.
To dose your stuffing, first find out how many milligrams (mg) of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or other cannabinoids are in the amount of cannabis-infused butter used in this recipe. Then, you can divide this amount by the number of servings that the recipe calls for.
When trying a new cannabis-infused recipe, always start with a low dose. Edibles produce particularly strong effects because of how they’re metabolized in the body, and these effects can take 1 to 2 hours to set in. Because of this, it’s best to wait a few hours before having a second serving.
