There have been some big changes at The Coconut Collaborative in the past year or so. In the U.S., they dropped the “coconut” from their name, and discontinued their yogurts. (They still make their Coconut Yog in Europe, where they still go by “The Coconut Collaborative”). But they’ve busily been working to grow their selection of desserts. Because of the changes, I’m updating our post on their “Little Pots,” which are now known as The Collaborative Chocolate Ganache in the U.S.

Mint freshens you up and sharpens the senses. It has a fantastic taste when combined with chocolate, especially milk chocolate. You may have had an after-dinner mint with chocolate before, and if you have, you will have some idea of this taste.

For the best cannabis-infused hot chocolate then it is not just about putting whatever weed you have in there. It’s important to know a little about strains. The staff of any cannabis dispensary will be able to help with this. You can discuss your needs and how experienced you are, plus the reasons you take marijuana. This can vary based on a number of factors. Do you need to stay alert or do you need cannabis to help get to sleep? Are you looking for pain relief? Choose appropriate marijuana and grind it before you get started with actually making the hot chocolate.In Europe you will find the above items labeled as The Coconut Collaborative Little Pots. And they have a couple more flavors: Praline & Chocolate and Banoffee. The ingredients are similar to the varieties above, but the Banoffee is also made without chocolate and soya.

Temper the eggs to prevent curdling: If you add the egg yolks directly into the hot cream, they will immediately curdle. Instead, you will want to temper the eggs (bring them up to temperature) by ladling a half-cup of the hot liquid into the egg mixture and whisk constantly until combined. Pour the egg mixture into the chocolate base and continue whisking until homogeneous. Firstly, you need to make sure your cannabis bud has been prepared. Grind your dry bud and set it aside ready to add when needed. The first step is to put the milk and water in a saucepan and bring it to the boil. Once it has reached the point where it starts to boil, lower the temperature slightly so it is simmering but not bubbling too much. At this stage, add your cannabis to the pan. Simmer them together for around 30 minutes and make sure you are stirring every few minutes. Things can get a bit samey. If you love weed hot chocolate you will find yourself drinking it regularly, and this is fine, but you may want to mix things up with some new flavors.
