How to make the perfect hash brownies

October 29, 2012 79 Comments Filed Under: Baking, Desserts and sweets, Food, Recipes

hash brownies

Just back from Amsterdam where I thought I’d do the touristy thing and have some space cake in a ‘coffee shop’ where, as most people know, it’s perfectly legal. On the border with Belgium however, only locals are allowed to go to coffee shops, to deter the drug traffickers and tourists from nearby countries.
I had the most god awful period pains and a couple of puffs of a joint can be wonderfully relaxing. Cannabis can be helpful in a medical sense, but like everything, it should be used in moderation. What is worrying is skunk. One mental health nurse told me that the majority of admissions to a psychiatric ward from young people were due to skunk addiction. It really messes with your mood regulators.
However on the table next to me, at Stix coffee shop, I saw a group of young men. One of them was very pale, in fact his lips were turning blue. He stood up, then collapsed. It was difficult to wake him and the bored looking coffee shop worker, slapped the kid around the face until he came to.
I got this recipe from a young man of my daughter’s connaissance. He would sell them in the playground at school, at the Lycée Francais in London. What if a teacher bought one? I asked. Oh he had a system, said my daughter, he would have a normal brownie on top and offer them that.
Anyway this young man is generally a superb baker and I asked him for his recipe. Do be careful. Only eat a bite then wait 45 minutes. You don’t want a ride that you cannot get off.

Triple Chocolate Special Brownies

Ingredients

  • 200 g of good quality dark chocolate, 70% cocoa or more
  • 150 g milk chocolate
  • 75 g white chocolate
  • 150 g unsalted butter
  • 1/8 th Jah’s green medecine, finely ground (Silver haze not skunk or cheese)
  • 50 g chocolate powder
  • 100 g self-raising flour
  • 200 g light brown soft sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • Vanilla essence
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 170-180C and line a cake tin (s) with baking paper.
  • Break up the dark chocolate and half the milk chocolate, into rough chunks and cut the butter into pieces (set aside a few chunks of dark chocolate for the chocolate chips). Place the butter into a bowl with your weed and bain-marie it until the butter has melted. Mix in your weed properly.
  • If the THC doesn’t bind to the fat in the butter, your brownies wont get you high.
  • Add the dark and milk chocolate chunks and bain-marie it all, mixing until it’s uniform. Take the bowl off the heat and leave it to cool.
  • Chop the remaining dark and milk chocolate and the white chocolate into small chunks and set aside.
  • Sieve the chocolate powder, flour, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg into a bowl and set aside.
  • Cream together the eggs, sugar and a few drops of vanilla essence until light and fluffy. This will take a while, the resulting mixture should be thick and nearly twice the volume of what you started with. Use an electric mixer.
  • Fold in the butter, chocolate mixture gently to avoid losing the air you’ve creamed in. Better yet, add the  creamed mixture to the chocolate bowl to minimise chocolate and drugs loss. You’ll end up with a swirly beige and brown mixture.
  • Fold in the flour, chocolate powder and spices bit by bit. Mix until uniform.
  • Mix in the chocolate chips and pour into the prepared cake tin, or pour into the tin and sprinkle the chips on top.
  • Place in the oven and cook for 20-30 minutes. The centre of the brownie should no longer wobble when you gently shake the cake tin. If it does, it needs a few more minutes. Cool for about 20 minutes.
  • Effects can take between 20minutes and 1.30 to kick in.
  • Cool in the fridge for the last few minutes to get that extra fudgy texture.

Notes

Avoid using large quantities of weed without raising proportions of other ingredients, as it changes the behaviour of the brownies in cooking. They tend to become too soft, fudgy and greasy. If using more than £25 to £30 worth, double the batch size. Do NOT use ‘cheese’. Silver haze works well.

    These were gorgeous! I made them for a stag do, halving all the ingredients as I wasn't sure what degree of caner would be attending, and they went down very nicely. Rich and fudgy (unlike previous recipes I have used, where, as Sarah Millican put it, it was almost as if the recipe's author hadn't thought about the cake part at all) with a sweet woozily mellow high. Cheers!

      (Recipe author comment) made these for the first time with hash the other day, grind up your hash as fine as possible but DO NOT GO OVERBOARD WITH IT – I put in about £10 of relatively weak hash to make 16 brownies and everyone who had them tripped major balls, even after taking just one or two. Not sure what your hash is like but maybe easier to make two weaker batches and see how it goes because hash seems to have stronger effects when cooked. Cheers

        FFS NOOO.

        Used to make a Jamaican ginger sized cake and put about a quarter of solid in and eat 1 cm slices. A work colleague asked for some. He wasn’t a stoner so tried to put him off the idea but he wouldn’t listen so gave him 3 slices and told him eat 1 and if he likes it have the rest another time. I got a call that night with him in a fit of giggles so he was having a great time. Unfortunately his misses who I could hear throwing up in the background wasn’t but at least he was finding it funny. They had went ahead and ate the lot. Got another call an hour later where he wasn’t laughing so much because they are on there way to hospital off there tits where she had to have an adrenaline injection. Pussies.

        Over do it and you are in for a horrific ride for a solid 6-8 hours so buckle up. Test the water by having a black weed tea (large grinded up pinch) with lemon and ginger then another time a joints worth of solid in a black expresso coffee. Will kick in around 45 mins to 2 hours. If it doesn’t kick in do not try again till the next day. Its a creeper and if you double down you’re in trouble. This is pretty much like having cake but you will see the difference in the heaviness of the buzz which for me solid wins every time if you have a nice oilily sticky bit.

    (Recipe author comment) add hash/weed in ground as soon as butter is fully melted. Stir in well and leave for just 2mins or so, then add in your chocolate. Once this is melting well mix until uniform and continue to stir for no more than 2-5mins before taking off the heat and leaving your bowl to rest away from the hot water. Basically, the longer you Bain Marie the stuff in with fatty ingredients (particularly butter) the more of your THC will bind to it, but heat it too much or do it for too long and you risk damaging it, and your brownies won't have an effect. Sounds like a finer balance than it is, it comes with practice. Cheers

    Hello Kirsten, I'm a 58 year old chronic pain sufferer and have had chocolate brownies with weed ?(green stuff that looked like dried herbs) before for the pain and it made such a difference. I don't say "man", I don't know what "cheese" is, in fact I don't know anything about it at all. The brownies I had before were made for me, so all I had to do was eat one a day. I take so much prescription drugs every day, but they couldn't do what one chocolate brownie could do! I'm not able to get them from my source now, so am I able to buy the main ingredient – the right ingredient without being too strong, from anywhere online? You might think that this is a joke, but it's far from being a joke. I've suffered more than six years of unrelenting pain, I'm a Granny of 5, I'm an ordinary person – but I'm in terrible pain all day, every day. Can you help me by pointing me in the right direction please, and advising me what it is I should buy – if I ever find anywhere to buy some from! Thank you

      Hi suffering granny. Poor you. I do feel it should be legal for those in pain. Have you asked your doctor? My dad had bowel cancer last year and cannabis oil is supposed to be great for cancer. But can you get it legally in this country? No way.
      I can't tell you how to get it as I don't know. I have one friend who is a bit of a stoner and he has his sources (he suffers chronic back pain).
      I really wish I could help you.
      If you ever walk past someone and you smell it, do ask them. (Make sure it isn't skunk, I find that far too strong and I believe it's harmful. Skunk is not grown naturally.) I think it's ridiculous that someone of your age cannot legally buy a natural herb such as cannabis.
      If you go to festivals, often there will be someone selling brownies or weed.
      Can you ask your kids?

      Dear Kerstin, thank you so much for your reply. I'm afraid I can barely walk around the house, let alone go to festivals and I've lost my sense of smell but wouldn't know what it smells like anyway! I'm afraid I'm a complete novice on these kind of drugs. Ask me what Diazepam or Morphine or any of the other things I take do to your body and I'd be able to tell you – and tell you to steer clear of them, but they still don't get rid of the pain. They just wreck your insides. The only thing that gave me some relief is the thing I can't get. Ah well, I'll just keep trying. But thank you for your kindness and understanding Kersten x

      has anyone elses sympathy reached a concerning level? one of the main problems with the internet is not being able to tell if anything is real, so all i can suggest is selling your property and moving to a country where it is legal. spain? parts of america? if i was rich i would get you off all those nasty prescriptions and on to something that works

    Superb stuff. Funny and possibly very good – I'll tell you presently. But, what the hell is cheese, in this context?
    And I'm assuming that you use the solid stuff for this? That's what I've always thought of as # or rez (resin). The green stuff has always been herb or grass. Is that the common understanding?

(Shock I know) i was searching the web all last night then this morning to find this one seems the most magical. I have just under a £20 bag to use, will this still have the same effect? I don't want to cook the brownies then be disappointed when there is no effect as you can imagine I'm super excited to try my first space adventure.
    As I know it's stated here to use around 3.5 grams.

      I've retested this recipe using solids grated up finely. I used an 1/8th for this recipe and they were really strong. I could only eat quarter to a half of a brownie. So I'd probably put less in.
      But I have to say they were delicious, to the point that you wanted to gobble the whole brownie but would probably regret if you did.

    Oh no! Watch your oven temp especially if you’ve scrubbed off all the numbers – been in for 20 mins and they’ve burnt, other than that quite a good rise and look nice, under the black layer. ffs. £30 quid in the bin. ffs.

    I don’t know where my previous comment vanished to? 👀 Anyway, I made them last night, at midnight, literal midnight munchies, but burnt them after only 20 minutes because I was, 1. stoned, and 2. scrubbed all the temp markings off the cooker. I had three before bed and one for breakfast this morning, and safe to say I slept through and have been nicely floaty off my chops all day. Just about to make a new, non-burnt batch now to take away with my for Easter weekend shenanigans. I used 1/8 of nice clean and fluffy yellow pollen and made 16 regular shaped brownies – woohoo! Thanks for sharing Ms Marmite Lover : )

      Great they worked! But three before bed. You must have been off your tits. Literally a couple of bites is enough.

I reckon these are 3/4 sour. The white mould is fine btw. These are delicious #pickleperson #fermentation #guthealthy

I visited @tokyobagellondon with my granddaughter I visited @tokyobagellondon with my granddaughter yesterday to try one of their viral wobbly bunnies. We also tried the multi layer Oreo pancake cakes, the onigiri shaped croissant. My sister had the black sesame latte and I had yuzu tea. I spent £35 in a short space of time as each dessert was £5 but it was a fun experience. Ophelia said ‘lovely flowers’ which shows a degree of sophistication for a 2 year old. I preferred the strawberry to the coconut flavour . #londondaysout #grandmacore #easter

Fry till translucent then add the chunks of red pepper. 2 fat garlic cloves sliced thinly, a block of smoked tofu in chunks, 2 bay leaves, a small handful of maldon salt. A courgette cut into thick half lengthways- then sliced into half moons. I might chuck in a handful of pantelleria capers in vinegar to give some acidity. Serve hot or cold. #sololunch #protein #vegetables

You can make pesto with any nut: it’s usually with pine nuts but I’ve used hazelnuts, almonds (trapani), walnuts. #vegetarian #pesto #bronte

Yesterday I cooked ( needed help with heavy pans a Yesterday I cooked ( needed help with heavy pans and pouring) pesto alle genovese. Made pesto in the vitamix: fresh basil leaves, 4 cloves garlic, 100g pecorino, 100g pine nuts, 150ml olive oil, salt, and juice of half a lemon. Whizz up.  Then cook the pasta - traditional shape is trofie but I only had fusilli. Top with small boiled potatoes and steamed green beans. Douse again with olive oil and more pine nuts. I served this with green salad with cucumber, avocado, pumpkin seeds and a mustard lemon olive oil dressing. #familylunch #sundaylunch #pestopasta #pestgenovese

Unstyled food photos: carrot and preserved lemon s Unstyled food photos: carrot and preserved lemon soup. I’m eating a lot of soup as it’s easy to make with one hand and a vitamix. I roasted the carrots ( 1 kilo) in olive oil. Then boiled them with 2 tbsp veg stock, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp ground cumin and 2 litres hot water. For a thicker soup, add 1 tbsp of cornflour mixed with the stock juice and add. Once tender, I blended this with 2 whole preserved lemons, adding a little of the juice from the jar. Blend on medium then high. Serve with yoghurt. It’s a way of effortlessly eating a lot of vegetables in one meal. #winterfood #soup #vegetables

I wrote this long read on peat for @scotnational n I wrote this long read on peat for @scotnational national how Scottish whisky is infused with peaty smoky flavours particularly @bruichladdich my favourite. I used @worldofwhisky_official peaty advent calendar as a tasting opportunity. I also talked about new Scottish start up @peatdfoods and their peaty pasta sauces. Peat has incredible preservation qualities for bog butter and more gruesomely bog bodies ( which give such valuable information to archaeologists and historians.) plus the peat based cookery of the Shetland isles. #longread #foodwriting #peat #cookery
At a posh hotel in Japan you can get an incredible At a posh hotel in Japan you can get an incredible selection of foods, both western and Japanese. @tim.spector told me about the healthy microbiome properties of Japanese breakfast. It isn’t much different to their other meals- usually consisting of rice, miso soup, raw egg cracked over hot rice, nori seaweed strips, sometimes potato or pasta salad with mayonnaise, often some green salad or cabbage, pickles plus my favourite umeboshi plums.  But at a large hotel you get a much greater range which is a real insight into local specialties. I’m in the region of kumano, to watch the Japanese rocket launch kairos which is launching from here. Last night I attended a Buddhist prayer ceremony and ritual to pray for a successful launch. There is a space race happening right now, with the USA and Elon musk ahead, to control space. Other countries such as Japan and the UK are trying to get a toehold. The Shetland islands attempted a launch this summer. But it’s also a problem because there are hundreds and thousands of small satellites orbiting the earth, the size of shoe boxes, forming space junk. There is a Japanese company who are trying to clean up space. #kumano #kairos #japan #space #rocket
