Cooking With A Buz! - Blazing Mango Sorbet

August brings the height of summer, with scorching days that call for cool, refreshing treats. This month, we’re turning up the heat with a recipe that combines the sweet, tropical flavor of mango with a spicy kick and the soothing effects of cannabis. Introducing Blazing Mango Sorbet, a perfect blend of sweetness, spice, and a subtle buzz to make your summer afternoons blissful.

Mangoes are a quintessential summer fruit, known for their juicy, tropical sweetness. When paired with chili, the contrast creates a delightful flavor explosion. The spice enhances the natural sweetness of the mango, making each bite a tantalizing experience. Adding cannabis to the mix not only provides relaxation but also complements the fruity and spicy notes, resulting in a unique and memorable treat.

When infusing cannabis into your recipes, it’s crucial to choose the right strain. For this sorbet, a strain with fruity undertones and a balanced THC-CBD ratio works best. Strains like Mango Kush, Pineapple Express, or a balanced hybrid like Harlequin can enhance the flavor profile without overwhelming the palate. Remember to decarboxylate your cannabis to activate the THC before infusion. Now grab a bag of your favorite herb, twist one up and let's get Cooking with a Buz!

Blazing Mango Sorbet

Yield: This recipe makes about 4 servings.

Preparation Time: 2 hours hours 15minutes minutes

Ingredients:

3 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced

1 cup water

1/2 cup sugar

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)

2-3 teaspoons cannabis-infused coconut oil (adjust dosage as needed)

A pinch of salt Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions:

First, let’s make the simple syrup, in a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool. Next, in a blender, add the diced mangoes, lime juice, chili powder, a pinch of salt, and the cooled simple syrup. Blend until smooth. Now just gradually add the cannabis-infused coconut oil to the mango mixture. Blend again to ensure it’s well incorporated.

Pour the mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a smooth, sorbet-like consistency. Now you just need to transfer the sorbet to a container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up. Serve in chilled bowls, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired.
