Chocolate with CBD - healthy sweetness for cannabis lovers
Chocolate is one of the world's most loved sweets, and the addition of CBD can provide many health benefits. CBD (cannabidiol) is a naturally occurring compound in the cannabis plant that is becoming increasingly popular for its potential relaxing and health-supporting properties.
In this article, we will present a recipe for homemade chocolate with CBD and discuss its benefits.
Health benefits of chocolate with CBD:
- Relax: CBD can help reduce stress and anxiety, making CBD-infused chocolate an ideal choice after a hard day.
- Improving sleep quality: Some studies suggest that CBD may support better sleep and reduce insomnia. Chocolate with CBD can therefore be a great addition to your evening routine before bed.
- Support for the immune system: The antioxidants in chocolate, such as flavonoids, can support immune function, and the addition of CBD can enhance these benefits.
- Mood enhancement: Some people report improved mood after consuming products containing CBD. So chocolate with CBD can be a tasty way to boost your mood.
CBD chocolate recipe:
Ingredients:
- 200g dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa)
- 10ml of CBD oil (you can adjust the amount to your preference)
- Optional: flavorings such as coconut flakes, nuts or fruit
Instructions:
- Crushing the chocolate: Grind the dark chocolate into small pieces with a knife or in a blender. You can also use a thermomix to grind the chocolate quickly and easily.
- Chocolate melting: Place the crushed chocolate in a small glass or metal bowl. Transfer the bowl to a pot of simmering water (known as a "water bath"). Wait until the chocolate begins to melt, stirring it occasionally.
- Adding CBD oil: When the chocolate is almost completely melted, add 10ml of CBD oil to the warmed chocolate bowl and mix thoroughly. If you want to add more CBD, you can do so, but be sure not to exceed the recommended dosage.
- Optional extras: Add your favorite ingredients, such as coconut flakes, chopped nuts or chopped fruit, and mix them thoroughly with the chocolate.
- Pouring and cooling: Pour the prepared mixture into a baking paper-lined or silicone chocolate mold. You can also use square cookie molds. Allow the chocolate to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until hardened.
- Slicing and storage: Once set, remove the chocolate from the mold, cut into smaller pieces and store in a cool, dry place. CBD chocolate has a short shelf life, so it is best to consume it as soon as possible after preparation.
Enjoy! Keep in mind that every body may react differently to CBD, so it is recommended to start with small doses and gradually adjust them to your needs.
Chocolate with CBD is not only a tasty treat, but also a healthy alternative to traditional sweets. Try preparing it yourself and enjoy its benefits!
