Recipe for a CBD and Praline Yule Log – Serves 8
Step 1:Start by decarboxylating the trim. To do this, preheat your oven to 110°C—100°C if using a convection oven—then spread the trim on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 40 minutes.
Step 2:Once the trim has been decarboxylated, place it in a saucepan with the cream. Simmer over very low heat for at least 1 hour. Stir occasionally. Be careful not to let the cream boil.
Step 3:When the cream is ready, strain it through a sieve to remove the solids. Then, refrigerate it for at least 1 hour.
Step 4:Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Meanwhile, separate the egg whites from the yolks, then beat the whites until stiff peaks form, adding a pinch of salt.
Step 5:Pour the egg yolks into a mixing bowl along with the sugar and the vanilla seeds scraped from the split vanilla bean. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it turns pale. Then add the flour. This will give you a fairly thick batter. Don’t panic—the sponge cake isn’t done yet!
Step 6:Gently fold the egg whites into the mixture. The batter will then take on a more liquid consistency. You can then pour the sponge cake batter onto a baking sheet that has been greased with butter or lined with parchment paper.
Step 7: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 8: Onceyour sponge cake is baked, place it on a damp kitchen towel. Then roll it up like a snail before letting it cool for a few minutes.
Step 9:Now let's move on to the praline cream. Pour the praline into a bowl, then blend it until it forms a paste.
Step 10:Melt the praline chocolate in a double boiler. Once the chocolate has melted, mix it into the praline paste, then let it cool.
Step 11: Whipthe heavy cream into whipped cream and add it to the chocolate-praline mixture.
Step 12:Unroll the cooled sponge cake and spread a generous layer of cream over it. Roll the sponge cake back up and refrigerate for ½ hour.
Refrigerate the remaining praline cream.
Step 13:Finally, take your Yule log out of the fridge and top it with the remaining cream. Decorate it—it's ready to enjoy!
Why make a CBD Yule log?
CBD is a compound that occurs naturally in the hemp/cannabis plant. It is packed with properties that are beneficial to our health and well-being.
When ingested, CBD works on many levels within our bodies to regulate, soothe, relieve, and reduce a number of symptoms. For example, cannabidiol is believed to help with stress and anxiety. It also aids digestion and promotes better sleep. Furthermore, the flavors of hemp pair perfectly with those of chocolate.
What is "trim"?
Trim is a blend that combines all the CBD flower varieties we sell. The flowers are sifted, and the trim consists of the finest flower particles. As a result, trim is rich in cannabinoids like CBD and also rich in aromas. This makes it the ideal product for cooking with all the flavors of light cannabis. If you don’t have any trim on hand, you can also use ourCBD at €1 per gram: these discounted flowers are perfect for infusing into your culinary creations without breaking the bank.
Why should you decarboxylate CBD flowers before cooking with them?
Before cooking with CBD flowers, it’s important to decarboxylate them. This step activates the cannabinoids in the flowers when heated. To do this, we recommend grinding them (except for trimmings) or crumbling them, then baking them in the oven for 40 minutes. This will prepare your flowers to be infused into a fat to makeCBD milk,CBD-infused oil, or evenMarrakech CBD butter.
Without this step, your body won’t absorb the CBD or other cannabinoids, and you won’t feel any effects. This step is therefore crucial when cooking with CBD flowers.
To achieve the best results in your recipes,purchasing high-qualityCBD from specialists ensures the product’s rich flavors and purity. Although CBD is legal, it is prohibited for minors and is strongly discouraged for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
If you are currently taking medication, we recommend that you consult your doctor.
