These rich, velvety chocolate truffles are infused with cannabis and enhanced with the romantic flavors of strawberry and rose. Perfect for setting the mood on Valentine’s Day!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher), finely chopped

• ½ cup heavy cream

• 1 tbsp unsalted butter

• 1 tbsp cannabis-infused coconut oil

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tbsp freeze-dried strawberry powder

• ½ tsp rose water

• Pinch of sea salt

• ¼ cup cocoa powder or finely crushed freeze-dried strawberries (for coating)

  
  

Instructions:

Start by heating the heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan over low heat, making sure it gets warm but does not come to a boil. Once heated, pour the mixture over the finely chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit undisturbed for about two minutes, then gently stir until you get a smooth, glossy consistency. Next, add the cannabis-infused coconut oil, vanilla extract, freeze-dried strawberry powder, rose water, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir everything together until well combined. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for about an hour, or until the mixture becomes firm enough to handle. When ready, take a teaspoon or small scoop and roll portions of the chocolate into bite-sized truffles. To finish, roll each truffle in cocoa powder or crushed freeze-dried strawberries for a decorative and flavorful coating. Once all truffles are coated, store them in an airtight container in the fridge until you're ready to enjoy them.

Serving Suggestions

Pair these truffles with a glass of red wine, herbal tea, or a CBD-infused mocktail for an extra indulgent experience. Enjoy them while cozying up with a romantic movie, or surprise your partner with a sweet, handmade Valentine’s treat!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
