Ingredients
Before diving into the recipe, ensure you have the following ingredients:
- 1 cup of canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup of light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon

- 1/8 teaspoon of ground cloves
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of cannabis-infused butter, melted
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Preparation
Cannabis Butter: If you don’t have pre-made cannabis butter, you’ll need to make it. Gently simmer butter and ground cannabis, strain, and let it cool. Remember, the potency depends on the strain and amount of cannabis used.
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
Add Pumpkin and Eggs: Stir in the pumpkin puree and eggs. Mix until well combined.
Incorporate Cream and Cannabis Butter: Gradually add the heavy cream and melted cannabis butter, stirring constantly.
Prepare Pie Crust: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
Bake: Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.
Serving and Storage
- Cool Completely: Let the pie cool completely before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly.
- Serving Size: Be mindful of the serving size. If you’re new to cannabis edibles, start with a small slice to gauge your tolerance.
- Storage: Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator.
Conclusion
Cannabis-infused pumpkin pie is a delightful way to enjoy the flavors of fall with an extra relaxing kick. Whether you’re a cannabis enthusiast or a culinary adventurer, this recipe is sure to impress. Remember to enjoy responsibly and keep out of reach of children and pets.
Happy baking and savoring this unique fall treat!
