Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup red adzuki bean paste
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Bliss (see recipe below)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, slightly softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon matcha tea powder
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 1 1/2 grams cannabis buds, ground or finely crushed
  • 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) coconut oil
  • 3 grams cannabis buds, ground or finely crushed
  • 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) coconut oil
  • 6 grams cannabis buds, ground or finely crushed
  • 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) coconut oil
  • Digital temperature gun (it's the only way to test the temperature of the weed)
  • Decent digital scale that weighs both grams and ounces
  • Paint-straining bags or cheesecloth
  • Large bowl
  • Strainer
  • Rubber gloves

Method

  • Combine the adzuki paste and pow-dered sugar in a small bowl and mix gently using your hands. Form the mix-ture into 12 balls about 1 inch in diameter. Set them on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate or freeze while you are making the cupcakes.
  • Preheat the oven to 250°F. Put the cannabis in a small, heat-proof baking dish and place in the oven. After 15 to 20 min-utes, check the temperature of the cannabis with your digital temperature gun; once it has reached 250°F, let it bake for 30 minutes, checking the temperature frequently. (In addition to decarboxylating, you are removing any moisture left in the plant material.) If it goes over the correct temperature for too long, it will burn, the THC may convert into CBN, and you will lose potency. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. If not using im-mediately, store the cannabis in an airtight container in a dark place for up to 2 months.
