Cannabis Infused Cream Cheese

Updated: Jan 12, 2019

A cannabis filled sachet is easily made to infuse cream cheese, or other thicker viscosity, high fat foods!



A sachet is a small, porous bag packed with materials- in this case cannabis, intended to interact with its atmosphere. This works perfect for infusing various different viscosities, such as a thicker cream cheese or anything you want to avoid the plant matter being directly incorporated into- soups and sauces that you don't want to strain, etc.


Need:

3.5 grams cannabis flower, broken up- no decarb needed

4 ounces softened cream cheese

4 tablespoons heavy cream

double layer of cheese cloth cut into square- enough to hold the broken up cannabis flower

1 mason jar with lid and ring

medium pot deep enough to submerge mason jar with water



Soften cream cheese. Break up cannabis flower. Use a square, double layer of cheesecloth (and one thin length of cheesecloth to tie sachet shut) to enclose cannabis flower into sachet. Tie off tightly. In mason jar, add cream cheese, heavy cream- mix well. Add cannabis sachet and ensure the cannabis is covered by the cream mixture. Place lid and ring on jar. Place jar into pot and fill with water, to cover cream cheese in jar. Bring to low boil and boil for 45 minutes.



Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes before removing lid carefully (there may be steam trapped inside). Let cool another 10 minutes before removing sachet. Remove sachet and place onto a small plate to cool until you can handle it. Scrape infused cream cheese out of mason jar into bowl. Once, sachet is cool enough, squeeze 'juice' out over cannabis infused cream cheese. You can place the sachet between 2 spoons and squeeze -or- just use your hands, but be sure it is cool enough, to avoid any burns! Mix well.



Now, you have cannabis infused cream cheese to add to recipes or just to spread on a bagel!


For a bagel spread, I would use about 1.5 teaspoon cannabis infused cream cheese to about 2 tablespoons NON infused cream cheese- mixing well to ensure even distribution of cannabinoids. This would equal about 1.5 teaspoons cannabis infused cream cheese to the 2.5 tablespoons of spread.
