Collaboration with Hanfgeflüster
CBD oil can relieve anxiety and pain and improve sleep quality, as many happy users all over the world report. My personal experience is that it helps me wind down at the end of the day instead of getting sucked into my to do list over and over again. Doesn’t that make my pumpkin spice CBD cake pops the perfect dessert?
I have decided on a cozy pumpkin spice cake as a base for the cake pops. You can get pumpkin spice at some bigger supermarkets, online or you can just make it yourself! That’s what I do. I use this recipe by Zucker & Jagdwurst and add a few ground cloves.
The wooden skewers for the CBD cake pops are also available at bigger supermarkets.
What is CBD oil actually?
Cannabidiol is made from hemp, but other than THC it is not psychoactive. There are no severe side-effects and it’s not addictive.
PUMPKIN SPICE CBD CAKE POPS
Recommended Equipment
Ingredients
- 120 g flour
- 45 g coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice
- 120 ml plant milk
- 40 ml plant oil
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons vegan cream cheese
- 18-30 drops CBD oil (3-5 per cake pop)
- 100 g vegan brown chocolate
- 30 g vegan white chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C/ 350°F.
- Now, gather all your ingredients and prepare them in the right amounts. That makes it so much easier and more fun and you're less likely to forget anything.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, vanilla and pumpkin spice in a large bowl, then combine plant milk, plant oil and apple cider vinegar in a measuring cup and mix well. Then quickly mix together until just combined.
- Pour the dough into a small baking tin lined with parchment paper and bake for 25 minutes.
- Break the slightly cooled cake into a bowl and mix with cream cheese.
- Take a handful out and drip 3-5 drops CBD oil on it, then roll into a ball. Repeat with the rest of the mixture. It should make 6 or 7 balls.
- Put them into the freezer.
- Melt the brown chocolate in a double boiler. The chocolate should not get warmer than necessary for melting.
- Stick the wooden skewers into the cold balls and dip into the chocolate glaze. The balls should not be frozen, just very cold, so the chocolate glaze can dry fast. Put on parchment paper to firm up. I don't recommend drying it on a plate, that tends to stick too much.
- Melt white chocolate with the same method in the same bath, this ensures the new chocolate glaze has a lighter color. Pour the glaze over the cake pops with a spoon as shown in the video.
- Keep in the fridge until serving, so the chocolate is nice and crunchy.
