"How to Make Cannabidiol Infused Ice Cream at Home"

Can’t wait for Half Baked Ben and Jerry’s infused Ice Cream? It’s time to whip up a batch of basic vanilla CBD ice cream at home.

A vanilla base is all you need to create a world of flavors, from berry blends to chocolate ripples, to your own Half-Baked creations.

Ingredients: 

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• ⅔ cup honey
• ⅛ tsp fine sea salt
• 6 large egg yolks
•  2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 gram of your favorite CBD powder

Directions:

1. Using a double boiler, combine honey and CBD isolate powder. Stir until dissolved. Do not allow the mixture to go above 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Remove from heat, and set aside.
3. In a separate saucepot, add heavy cream, milk, honey-CBD mixture, and salt. Stir until dissolved.
4. Remove from heat.
5. Whisk yolks for 30 seconds in a separate bowl. Drizzle some of the hot cream mixtures into the yolks, whisking rapidly the entire time to prevent the yolks from curdling. This will bring the eggs up to temperature.
6. Whisk the yolk mixture into the cream mixture, and place back on medium-low heat.
7. Simmer until the mixture coats the back of a spoon and/or reaches 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
8. Chill mixture in the refrigerator for at least four hours.

10. Store in the freezer until ready to eat.
