Hash or kief can be mixed into cream more quickly, but can clump or dissolve unevenly; the flavor is less vegetable and it tends to be stronger.
I use an ice cream machine with a 1.5 qt bowl that you freeze for 24hr. before using. There are different kinds of machines, like the old fashioned salt and ice bucket or even plug in professional freezers. I have made ice cream with just milk, cream, sugar, and flavor and I have also cooked a custard by adding egg yolks and frozen the chilled custard. Like the poster above said:
Any regular ice cream recipe can be used if cannabis infused milk or cream is substituted. :thumbsup: Some even call for butter also.
I enjoy date\rum\banana, kush custard (just sugar, egg, and kush flavor), and hazelnut(use nutella). I have been experimenting with infusing cannabis into coconut cream and making a non-dairy ice cream that way. I would like to learn how to make gelato, and am always looking for tips from fellow cooks.
If you have any questions about making ice cream, just ask!
Pro-tips:
try blending your ingredients together over low heat and chilling them in an ince bath or the fridge before freezing in an ice cream maker
middle eastern flavors taste good with marijuana such as honey, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, dates, etc,
dark chocolate is a good cover flavor
peanut butter is also a good
