A weed-infused triple-layer trifle (Bruce Wolf, The Cannabist)

Video recipe: How to make my favorite dessert, pot-infused triple-layer trifle

Let’s just come out and say it: Trifle is the perfect dessert.

Cake, custard, fruit and whipped cream. Come on, how could a dish be any better? Well, I’ll tell you how: Add weed.

We have used our favorite medicated almond cake as the base of this magnificent dessert. Feel free to change the cake, custard or fruit. It’s that easy.

Remember: Approach the trifle with a big spoon, and dig deep; That way you get some of everything. And to make life easier, we used instant pudding. Don’t freak: When you add the extracts, it works perfectly with all the other ingredients. The almond cake was medicated with the wonderful J1, a gift from one of my best friends in the cultivation space.
