Steemit Iron Chef 2017 #02 A Dessert Made With Carrots: Double The Magic, Vegan Carrot Cannabis Cookies

                        

Sooner of later, @progressivechef and @creativewoman, I just had to start mixing pulps to make these magical carrot cannabis cookies for you. Both the cookie and the frosting are medicated. Soon you won't really care what they look like on the plate. You'll be too busy enjoying the pain-free ride and then you'll sleep like a baby because I use a strain called White Rhino along with lots of carrots to make these delectable little evening dessert cookies.

White Rhino can put even the biggest Rhino into a "dead to the world" slumber.

                       

(This is a single bud of White Rhino. You'll notice that we started with basic raw ingredients. On their own, they don't look very spectacular but as we all know, sometimes looks are and can be deceiving.)

 Cookie Dough Ingredients:

1. 1 cup of almonds (ground finely);
2. 3/4 cup of walnuts (ground finely);
3. 1 cup of grated carrot pulp;
4. 1/3 cup of (left over) White Rhino cannabis pulp that is a by-product of making infused coconut oil;
5. 1/2 cup of coconut oil (melted)
6. 1/4 cup of maple syrup;
7. 1 ripe banana;
8. 1 tsp of vanilla extract;
9. 1 tsp of baking powder;
10. 1/2 tsp of baking soda;
11. 1/4 tsp of Pink Himalayan salt;
12. 2 tsp of ground cinnamon;
13. 1 tsp of ground nutmeg
14. 1/2 tsp of ground ginger;
15. 1/4  tsp of ground cardomon;
16. and 1/2 cup of Sultana raisins

                       

Directions:

• In a food processor, grind the almonds and walnuts until a fine crumb is achieved. Add the remaining baking powder, soda, salt and spices and mix well.
• Add all the other ingredients to the food processor except the raisins and mix until a sticky dough is achieved.
• Add the raisins and pulse 3 times to incorporate them whole into the cookie dough.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Drop  cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
• Remove from oven and cool on a wire cooling wrack.

                     

Cookie Frosting Ingredients:

1. 1/2 cup of unsalted cashews (soaked in room temperature water for 4 hours);
2. 140 grams of pure creamed coconut;
3. 2 tbsp of maple syrup;
4. 2 tbsp of cannabis infused medium chain triglyceride coconut oil; 
5. and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract.

                   

Directions:

• Blend all ingredients in a food processor until the mixture is thick, smooth and creamy.
• Frost each cookie with a generous amount of frosting.

This recipe yields 40 cookies and they freeze really well. They take about 10 minutes to thaw but they are also quite lovely eaten as a frozen dessert.

For those that are interested you can view how to make the infused cannabis coconut oil from this link:  https://steemit.com/marijuana/@rebeccaryan/strain-teslin-indica-19-5-thc-making-mtc-coconut-oil-infusion-part-2-the-oil-infusion-using-a-magical-butter-machine 

The remaining White Rhino pulp from the infused coconut oil extraction process is what is used as "cookie dough" ingredient #4.

                    

These cookies are meant to be enjoyed at the end of your day. White Rhino is used medically to treat Insomnia and chronic pain. They will give you the best sleep ever and you'll never know that they are loaded with carrots or cannabis. A dose for a beginner is 1/2 a cookie.  An expert can handle two.

Enjoy and sleep tight. 

I welcome your comments and I invite you to follow me on my journey...there will be vegetables.
