Coconut oil is a versatile oil extracted from the meat of mature coconuts. It is known for its numerous health benefits, including its ability to boost metabolism, improve skin health, and support heart health. When infused with cannabis, coconut oil serves as an excellent base for creating edibles, as it effectively binds with cannabinoids, enhancing their potency and bioavailability.

To make your own cannabis gummies using coconut oil, you will need the following ingredients:

2/3 cup infused coconut oil (made using a Magical Butter Machine or similar method)
1 pack of flavored Jello (3 oz)
4 unflavored Knox gelatin packs (3/4 oz each)
2 tsp sunflower lecithin (either granulated or liquid)
1 tsp lemon juice or Lorann’s mold inhibitor
1 cup water or fruit juice
Optional: 5-10 drops of Lorann’s flavoring for extra taste

Silicone gummy molds
Whisk
Small bowl
Double boiler (or a large pot with a smaller pot inside)
Measuring cups and spoons
Wilton easy pour funnel or squeeze bottle

Step 1: Bloom the Gelatin

Start by blooming your gelatin. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of water (or juice) with the four packs of powdered gelatin. Stir until fully combined and let it sit until it thickens.

Step 2: Melt the Infused Coconut Oil

In your double boiler, heat 2/3 cup of infused coconut oil on low heat until fully melted. Once melted, add the sunflower lecithin and stir well to combine.

Step 3: Prepare the Jello Mixture

In a separate pot, bring 1/2 cup of water or juice to a boil. Once boiling, mix in your flavored Jello and the lemon juice or mold inhibitor. Stir until fully dissolved.

Step 4: Combine Mixtures

Carefully pour the Jello mixture into the double boiler with the melted coconut oil while whisking continuously. This ensures a smooth blend without clumps.

Step 5: Add the Bloomed Gelatin

Now, add the bloomed gelatin to the mixture in the double boiler. Continue whisking for about 10 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined and smooth.

Step 6: Fill the Molds

Using your funnel or squeeze bottle, quickly fill your silicone molds with the gummy mixture. It's important to work fast to prevent the mixture from solidifying.

Step 7: Let Them Set

Allow the filled molds to sit for at least 30 minutes. Once set, carefully remove the gummies and place them on a wire rack or cutting board.

Step 8: Air Dry the Gummies

For the best results, let the gummies air dry for 24-72 hours. This step is crucial to prevent mold from forming. Properly dried gummies will last longer and have a firmer texture.

Use Quality Ingredients: Ensure your coconut oil is high-quality and properly infused for maximum flavor and potency.
Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add extra flavoring to customize your gummies to your taste.
Storage: Store your dried gummies in an airtight container in the fridge. They should last for about 1-2 weeks.

Making your own cannabis-infused gummies with coconut oil is a fun and rewarding process. With this simple recipe, you can enjoy delicious, homemade treats that harness the benefits of cannabis. Remember to follow the instructions carefully and have fun experimenting with different flavors and shapes. Happy gummy making!
