I. Ingredients:

To make delicious Raspberry Ripple infused with CBD, gather the following ingredients:

For the Raspberry Sauce:

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Ripple:

  • 2 cups whipped cream or softened vanilla ice cream
  • 1-2 full spectrum CBD oil drops (optional, for CBD infusion)

II. Equipment:

Before starting the recipe, ensure you have the following equipment:

  • Saucepan
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Fine-mesh sieve
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Loaf pan or freezer-safe container

III. Step-by-Step Instructions:

A. Making the Raspberry Sauce:

  1. In a saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
  2. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sugar dissolves, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the raspberry mixture cool slightly.
  4. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve placed over a mixing bowl, pressing down with the back of a spoon or spatula to extract as much liquid as possible.
  5. Discard the solids left in the sieve and set the raspberry sauce aside.

B. Incorporating CBD:

  1. To infuse CBD into your Raspberry Ripple, you can use CBD oil drops.
  2. Once the raspberry sauce has cooled, add 1-2 drops of CBD oil to the sauce and stir well to ensure even distribution of CBD.

C. Making the Ripple:

  1. In a separate mixing bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form or soften the vanilla ice cream.
  2. If using whipped cream, you can sweeten it with a little powdered sugar to taste.
  3. Gently fold the CBD-infused raspberry sauce into the whipped cream or softened ice cream until well combined, creating a ripple effect.

D. Assembling and Freezing the Raspberry Ripple:

  1. Pour the raspberry ripple mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container.
  2. Smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  3. Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent freezer burn.
  4. Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  5. Once frozen, your Raspberry Ripple infused with CBD is ready to be served.

IV. Tips and Variations:

Here are some tips and variations to enhance your Raspberry Ripple infused with CBD:

  • Mixed Berry Ripple: Experiment with different berries like strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries to create a mixed berry ripple. Simply replace a portion of the raspberries in the sauce with your desired berries.
  • Chocolate Ripple: Add a decadent twist by incorporating

chocolate into your Raspberry Ripple. Melt some dark or semi-sweet chocolate and drizzle it over the raspberry ripple mixture in the loaf pan. Use a knife or toothpick to create a marbled effect by gently swirling the chocolate through the mixture.

  • Nutty Ripple: For added texture and flavor, sprinkle some chopped nuts, such as almonds or pistachios, over each layer of the ripple mixture as you assemble it in the loaf pan. The nuts will create a delightful crunch in every bite.
  • Mint Chocolate Chip Ripple: If you enjoy the combination of mint and chocolate, add a few drops of mint extract to the whipped cream or softened ice cream before folding in the raspberry sauce. You can also incorporate small chocolate chips into the ripple mixture for extra indulgence.
  • Vegan Alternative: For a vegan-friendly version, substitute the whipped cream or ice cream with coconut cream or your favorite non-dairy ice cream alternative. Ensure the ice cream is CBD-infused or use CBD oil drops as directed.

 V. Serving and Storage:

Once your Raspberry Ripple infused with CBD is frozen and ready to serve, follow these serving and storage guidelines:

  1. Serving: Remove the loaf pan or container from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop the Raspberry Ripple into bowls or dessert glasses, and garnish with fresh raspberries or a sprig of mint for an extra touch. Enjoy the creamy, fruity, and potentially relaxing flavors of your creation.
  2. Storage: If you have any leftover Raspberry Ripple, cover the container tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and place it back in the freezer. It can be stored for up to a week. However, for the best taste and texture, it is recommended to consume the ripple within a few days.
