To make a CBD-infused Queen of Puddings, gather the following ingredients:

For the custard

  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1-2 full spectrum CBD oil drops (optional, for CBD infusion)

For the jam layer

  • 1 cup fruit jam (such as raspberry or strawberry)

For the meringue topping:

  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • II. Equipment:

Before starting the recipe, ensure you have the following equipment:

  • Mixing bowls
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Baking dish
  • Electric mixer or hand whisk
  • Oven

III. Step-by-Step Instructions

A. Making the CBD-Infused Custard

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Add the vanilla extract and stir well. Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is smooth and pale yellow in color.
  4. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent curdling. If desired, add 1-2 full spectrum CBD oil drops to the custard mixture and whisk well to distribute the CBD oil.
  5. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and set aside.

B. Preparing the Jam Layer

  1. Spread the fruit jam evenly over the bottom of a greased baking dish.

C. Creating the Meringue Topping

  1. In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer or a hand whisk until they form stiff peaks.
  2. Gradually add the granulated sugar to the beaten egg whites, continuing to beat until the mixture is glossy and holds its shape.

D. Assembling and Baking the Queen of Puddings

  1. Pour the CBD-infused custard over the jam layer, spreading it evenly.
  2. Carefully spread the meringue topping over the custard, making sure to seal the edges.
  3. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown and crisp.
  4. Once baked, remove the Queen of Puddings from the oven

and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the layers to set slightly and make it easier to cut into neat portions.

If desired, you can drizzle a few drops of CBD oil over the top of the warm Queen of Puddings for an additional infusion of CBD. Adjust the dosage according to your personal preferences and the instructions provided with your CBD oil.

IV. Tips and Variations

  • CBD Dosage: It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided with your CBD product and consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medication. Adjust the CBD dosage according to your personal preferences and desired effects.
  • Jam Selection: Choose your favorite fruit jam to add flavor to the Queen of Puddings. Raspberry or strawberry jam works well, but you can experiment with other flavors such as blackberry or apricot for a unique twist.
  • Meringue Variation: If you prefer a softer meringue, reduce the baking time slightly or opt for a Swiss meringue that is cooked over a double boiler before baking. This will result in a marshmallow-like texture.
  • Serving Accompaniments: The Queen of Puddings can be enjoyed on its own, but you can enhance the experience by serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Sprinkle some fresh berries on top for an extra burst of flavor.

V. Serving and Storage

  1. Cut the CBD-infused Queen of Puddings into generous slices and serve it warm or at room temperature. The combination of the creamy custard, sweet jam, and fluffy meringue will delight your taste buds.
  2. Leftover Queen of Puddings can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or enjoy them chilled.

VI. Conclusion

By following this comprehensive guide, you can create a delicious CBD-infused Queen of Puddings that combines the classic flavors of custard, jam, and meringue with the potential benefits of CBD. Whether served as a comforting dessert on a cozy evening or as a show-stopping treat for a special occasion, this CBD-infused twist on a British favorite is sure to impress. Remember to follow the dosage instructions provided with your CBD product and consult with a healthcare professional if needed. Enjoy the CBD-infused Queen of Puddings and savor the delightful flavors and potential wellness benefits it offers.
