Decarb the cannabis. Preheat the oven to 245ºF. Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper and place the loosely broken up cannabis on it. Heat in the oven for 30-40 minutes. Gently mix the buds every 10-15 minutes to expose all sides of the buds. (Older, drier cannabis may require less time.) Tip: You can also set your oven to 300ºF and heat for 10-15 minutes, although the low-and-slow approach is recommended to better preserve cannabinoids and terpenes. According to anecdotal evidence, cocoa butter can help minimize under-eye bags and dark circles. In addition, the butter comprises antioxidants that help reduce the puffiness and discoloration.

When ready, the silk will resemble mayonnaise or smooth peanut butter, in texture, not the clear, runny liquid that is produced by simply melting cocoa butter. Vegetable oil can be used as a substitute for cocoa butter in some recipes, especially in cooking and frying. However, it is important to note that vegetable oil has a different texture and taste than cocoa butter, and may not work well in all recipes. When using vegetable oil as a substitute for cocoa butter, it is best to use a neutral-flavored oil, such as canola or sunflower oil, to minimize any impact on the taste of the final product. It may not be suitable for use in recipes that require a firm, stable texture, such as chocolate making or candy making. Sunflower oil It’s best to use precise digital scales for this, but if you don’t have them, I’ve weighted and measured the Mycryo as close as I could for you in these examples: Whatever you have! Cacao powder/butter, cocoa butter/powder, unprocessed cocoa powder, dutch processed cocoa powder, etc. To put this simply, the amount of Mycryo will depend on the amount of chocolate, so if you have 300 grams of chocolate you need to add 3 grams of Mycryo.Make sure the water is not touching the bottom of the bowl. The way this works is as the water heats the steam hits the bottom of the bowl warming it gently and evenly which melts the contents of the bowl.

The actual use of the different substitute for cocoa butter will depend on what you are trying to achieve. What is Cocoa Butter? Additionally, when making weed butter, if the 1:1 ratio of weed to butter seems too strong, you can use half as much cannabis flower—try 1/2 cup of ground flower, or 3-4 grams, to 1 cup of butter. You can easily temper the chocolate by table method, where you re-introduce the crystals by movement rather than by adding more crystals in. First of all, I should point out that cocoa butter is plant-based, so there is no need to replace it in case you are adapting your recipes for vegan diets.

Cacao butter comes from the same cocoa beans as cocoa butter, but the process of extracting the butter is a bit different. Cacao butter is perfect for using in a raw chocolate making as it’s extracted by cold pressing the cocoa beans and it all happends under the low temperature of 46-48C. Pour the mixture into small tubs or lip balm tubes while still warm. It will set into a soft solid. Having spent my early years smothered in cocoa butter (or coconut oil) at the hands of my grandma, I am no stranger to the stuff. Now that I use cocoa butter to temper my chocolate, I feel somehow my life has come full circle. 🙂 The amount will depend on the amount of chocolate – it’s 1% of the cocoa butter (e.g if you have 300 grams of chocolate add 3 g). You will definitely need to use digital scales for this. Infusing some raw weed into your hot cocoa could produce an interesting flavor and some potential health benefits of its own, but it won’t get you high if you skip this step.
