Bake your favorite cupcakes, then top them with this beautiful cannabis-infused vanilla buttercream.  It’s sweetened with a mild honey and just 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar for that perfect texture.

This recipe makes approximately 1 ¼ c frosting for about 9 cupcakes.

What you’ll need:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">¾ c (1 ½ sticks / 6 oz) unsalted butter, room temperature</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">4 T (2 oz) of cannabutter</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">3 T pure honey (see pro tip below!) </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">3 T confectioners sugar</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">2 t vanilla extract</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">3 T cream cheese, room temperature</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">1 /4 t salt</li>
</ul>
What to do:
<ol>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">Fit a stand mixer with the flat beater, or use a hand mixer.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">Place all ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix at low speed until combined.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">Increase speed to high. Scrape sides of bowl and continue to beat until completely smooth. </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">Your frosting can be used immediately. IF you want to prepare it ahead of time, keep it covered in the refrigerator.  Take it out of the fridge 20-30 minutes before you plan to use it, so it can soften. Once it’s room temperature, give it a good stir. Now frost, frost, frost away! </li>
</ol>
PRO TIPS:

* The flavor and color of your frosting will vary depending on the specific honey used. We suggest a honey like clover for a mild and sweet flavor.

* Consistency is key for a good buttercream. Don’t use your microwave for softening the butter or cream cheese unless you’re sure of what you’re doing!

* Have some leftovers? Grab a bag of mini pretzels and enjoy that sweet n’ salty combo.

Words of wisdom: Start low, go slow!

*Taste a measured portion of your frosting with a small bite. Wait an hour to let your body digest, then assess how you’re feeling to determine if the potency is to your preference. While this will provide you with a nice baseline for your recipe, you’ll want to be mindful of your math. Infusing a whole batch of confections requires careful planning!
