Cannabis Heavy Cream: Infuse Once, Use in Coffee, Ice Cream, and Sauces

Cannabis heavy cream is one of the most versatile cannabis infusions you can make at home. This cannabis heavy cream recipe uses decarbed hash and the Pot by Noids infusion device to create a potent, ready-to-use infusion in just a few hours. Use your cannabis heavy cream for ice cream, coffee, sauces, soups, or any recipe that calls for heavy cream — the possibilities are endless.

Why Make Cannabis Heavy Cream?

Cannabis heavy cream is a game-changer for edible enthusiasts. Unlike cannabutter, which adds a strong herbal taste, infused heavy cream blends seamlessly into both sweet and savory dishes. The fat content in heavy cream is ideal for binding with THC, resulting in a potent infusion with minimal flavor interference. A small batch of cannabis heavy cream can elevate everything from infused ice cream to creamy pasta sauces.

Cannabis Heavy Cream — 5 Easy Steps

Step 1: Decarb Your Hash or Flower

Before making infused heavy cream, you need to decarboxylate your cannabis material. For hash, decarb at 240°F (110°C) for 45 minutes. For flower, use the same temperature for about 40 minutes. This activates the THC so it becomes bioavailable when consumed. In this recipe, we use 1.5 grams of decarbed hash at approximately 40% THC, giving us a starting potency of around 600 mg. After accounting for 20–30% loss during infusion, the final cannabis heavy cream will contain roughly 420–480 mg of THC.

Step 2: Prepare the Pot by Noids

The Pot by Noids is perfect for making small-batch cannabis heavy cream. It holds up to 250 ml (1 cup) and handles the entire infusion process automatically. Remove the protective cover, pull out the infusion cup, and note the measurement markings on the side — we will fill to the 200 ml mark. Break the decarbed hash into small pieces with gloved hands to maximize surface area for extraction.

Step 3: Add Hash and Heavy Cream

Drop the broken-up hash pieces into the infusion cup first, then pour 200 ml of heavy cream on top. Place the cup back into the Pot by Noids and secure the lid. We are only infusing 200 ml because the ice cream recipe calls for 470 ml total — the remaining 270 ml will be added later as regular, non-infused heavy cream.

Step 4: Set It and Forget It

Select the THC infusion function (the empty diamond icon) and let the machine work. The Pot by Noids is a true set-it-and-forget-it device — it controls the temperature and timing automatically. The infusion typically takes between 1.5 to 3 hours. When your cannabis heavy cream is done, the device will beep and the light ring will stop pulsating. No stirring, no temperature monitoring required.

Step 5: Strain and Store Your Cannabis Heavy Cream

Once the infusion is complete, use the built-in filter to strain the cannabis heavy cream into a glass or jar. Be careful — the glass container is very hot! Use a heat-resistant glove when handling it. Press the plunger all the way down to extract every drop of infused cream. You may notice tiny hash granules that passed through the screen — this is normal and will not affect the texture of your final dish. Store the cannabis heavy cream in the fridge and use within 1–2 days for best results.

Dosage Tips for Cannabis Heavy Cream

With approximately 420–480 mg of THC in 200 ml of cannabis heavy cream, each tablespoon contains roughly 30–35 mg of THC. This is a strong infusion. Start with a small amount and wait at least 90 minutes before consuming more. You can dilute the potency by mixing your cannabis heavy cream with non-infused cream before using it in recipes.

What Can You Make With Cannabis Heavy Cream?
