Dosing Tips and Cannabis Information

Calculating THC Dosage
The potency of your truffles depends on the strength of your cannabis butter. To calculate the dosage, use this formula:
- Total THC in Butter (mg) / Total Servings = Approximate THC per Truffle: For example, if your cannabis butter contains 1000 mg of THC and you’re making 20 truffles, each one will have 50mg of THC.
Dosing Safely
- Start with one truffle, wait 1–2 hours, and assess how you feel before consuming more.
- Always listen to your body and avoid overconsumption.
- Edibles can take longer to take effect compared to smoking or vaping cannabis.

- For optimal long-term storage, freeze the truffles for up to three months to preserve their freshness and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about How to Make Cannabis Truffles
To make canna-chocolate truffles, you’ll need a base mixture of heavy cream, dark chocolate, and cannabis butter (or coconut oil for a vegan alternative). Once melted and combined, you can flavor the truffle base with spices, liqueurs, or other flavorings.
Afterward, roll them into balls and coat them with cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or confectioner’s sugar. Let the truffles set in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
Tip: For consistent dosing, always calculate the THC content of your cannabis butter or coconut oil to ensure safe consumption
The best flavors for cannabis-infused truffles depend on your taste preferences. Some of the most popular options include:
- Mexican Chocolate: A rich blend of cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and vanilla.
- Turkish Coffee: Infused with ground cardamom and coffee liqueur for a bold, aromatic flavor.
- Chinese 5-Spice: A unique mix of spices like cinnamon, star anise, and cloves, combined with bourbon whiskey.
These flavors elevate the richness of the chocolate and provide a distinct edible experience. You can also experiment with cannabis ganache for a creamy finish.
Yes, you can make cannabis truffles without cannabis butter by substituting it with coconut oil or rosin for a more potent cannabis flavor. Both options allow for customization of dosage, and coconut oil is particularly great for those who prefer a plant-based option.
You can also use cannabis-infused white chocolate for a different twist on the classic chocolate truffle.
To calculate the dosage of THC in your truffles, you need to know the THC content of the cannabis butter or coconut oil you’re using. The general formula is:
- Total THC in Butter (mg) / Total Truffles = THC per Truffle
For example, if your cannabis butter contains 200mg of THC and you make 20 truffles, each truffle would contain 10mg of THC. Adjust the dosage according to your tolerance and the potency of your cannabis.
Cannabis-infused truffles, like most edibles, take longer to take effect compared to smoking or vaping cannabis.
The onset time can vary, but typically, edibles take between 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in.
Always start with a low dosage, wait for the effects, and adjust your intake as needed to avoid overconsumption.
Cannabis truffles should be stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
You can refrigerate them for up to two weeks or freeze them for longer storage (up to 3 months).
When freezing, make sure to separate the truffles with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
For the best results, use high-quality dark chocolate with 60–70% cocoa content. This provides a rich, smooth base for your truffles without being overly sweet.
You can experiment with milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter truffle, but dark chocolate is often preferred for its complex flavor and lower sugar content.
You can also try a rosin chocolate recipe for a more potent and flavorful twist.
To determine how much THC is in each truffle, you’ll need to know the THC concentration of the cannabis butter or oil you used.
Multiply the amount of cannabis used to make the butter by the THC percentage of the strain. Then, divide the total THC by the number of truffles to find the dosage per piece.
Always be cautious and start with a small amount when consuming homemade cannabis chocolate balls.
Yes! To make vegan-infused truffles, simply swap the heavy cream for coconut cream or non-dairy alternatives like almond milk or oat milk.
Use dairy-free chocolate and substitute the cannabis butter with coconut oil infused with cannabis. This will keep your truffles plant-based while maintaining their creamy texture.
The coating is what makes your cannabis truffles stand out. You can coat them in a variety of ingredients to enhance flavor and texture. Popular options include:
- Cocoa powder for a rich, classic finish.
- Chopped nuts like pistachios, almonds, or hazelnuts for crunch.
- Confectioner’s sugar for a light, sweet coating.
- Crushed cookies or crushed candies for a fun, creative touch.
You can also dip your truffles in cannabis ganache for a rich, chocolatey coating that enhances the cannabis flavor.
The amount of cannabis you use depends on how potent you want your truffles to be. For a batch of 20 truffles, start with 2 tablespoons of cannabis butter or coconut oil. Each truffle will then contain approximately 10mg of THC.
Always start with a low dosage and adjust based on personal tolerance.
