Dosing

• Servings per recipe: 20 servings

• THC dose per serving: 5mg THC per serving

Ingredients

• ¾ cup passion fruit pulp

• 2 whole eggs

• 2 egg yolks

• ½ stick unsalted butter, cold

• ½ cup superfine sugar

• 1 tbsp Veda Warrior Infused Ghee (100mg THC per jar; 5mg THC per 1 tbsp)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine passionfruit pulp, whole eggs, egg yolks, and sugar. Whisk to blend thoroughly.

2. Set the pan over low to medium heat, whisking constantly. Cook gently until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon—do not let it boil to avoid curdling the eggs.

3. Strain the curd through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl containing the cold butter and Veda Warrior Infused Ghee.

4. Whisk until the butter and ghee are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.

5. Transfer the curd to a storage container. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming.

6. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight before serving.

7. To serve: layer the curd with crumbled shortbread, pound cake, or crushed cookies in small glasses or jars to create individual trifles. Garnish with fresh fruit or edible flowers.

Healing Benefits of the Ingredients

• Veda Warrior Infused Ghee Butter: Ghee is deeply nourishing and enhances digestion, mental clarity, and immunity. In Ayurveda, ghee is known to support all tissues and is a carrier that improves the absorption of cannabinoids. Cannabis infusion adds anti-inflammatory and calming properties, making this dessert both indulgent and therapeutic.

• Saffron (optional, if added): Traditionally used in Ayurveda to uplift mood, balance hormones, and support skin clarity. It adds both color and a subtle aromatic depth to the trifle.

• Passionfruit: High in antioxidants and vitamin C, passionfruit supports immunity and skin health. Its tartness balances the rich ghee and butter, aiding digestion and creating a vibrant flavor profile.

• Eggs: Offer grounding and building energy, support reproductive health, and provide high-quality protein and nutrients essential for cellular repair.

• Butter & Ghee: Provide stable energy, support tissue repair, and improve the bioavailability of fat-soluble nutrients and cannabinoids.

• Sugar: In small amounts, sugar can be grounding and nourishing, balancing the body when consumed mindfully.

Dosing Guidance

To adjust: Keep the recipe the same and portion accordingly when assembling trifles. Whisk the ghee thoroughly into the curd to ensure even THC distribution.
