Did you know that you can customize your panna cotta recipe and add CBD? This article shares ideas on how to do so. You need to understand CBD first.


The Basics of CBD

According to Bauer et al. (2020) and Massi et al. (2006), CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid in hemp and many other cannabis plants. Cannabinoids are a collective name for the many compounds in cannabis plants, and CBD is just one of them. Of the 140 or more cannabinoids, CBD is of great interest among scientists. Its demand has increased, and many deliverable methods have been discovered. According to Watt & Karl (2017), CBD is therapeutic, and many want to tap on its therapy, explaining the massive interest.


CBD Deliverable Methods

It is worth noting that CBD does not dissolve in the body as a compound. The cells do not absorb it as a compound, hence the need to incorporate it into other products that the body can directly take in. There are many ways to enjoy CBD, including;

  • Sublingual administration; you can take CBD oils and tinctures orally, like syrups, although you can also administer them sublingually. The latter seems more viable, ensuring faster delivery of the cannabinoid to the body and faster results.
  • Ingestion; you can ingest CBD edibles by eating CBD-infused gummies, desserts, and savory foods. Besides, you can also swallow CBD capsules, and both methods ensure you do not feel the bitter and earthy taste of the cannabinoid.
  • Topical and transdermal administration; if you don’t want CBD to interact with your bloodstream but still want CBD benefits, you can apply CBD creams and lotions topically on the affected areas. Studies are ongoing to determine if topical or transdermal CBD application is effective.

Type of CBD to Feature in the Panna Cotta Recipe

You can explore three types of CBD, depending on your preferred formulation. You can go for;

  1. Full-spectrum CBD; features CBD with the whole range of cannabinoids in hemp. VanDolah et al. (2019) showed that it also has terpenes and flavonoids, which add to the full entourage effect.
  2. Isolate-based CBD; does not have any other compound than CBD; no terpenes, no flavonoids, no additional cannabinoids.
  3. Broad-spectrum CBD; is more like full-spectrum CBD in composition, only that it does not have THC. Still, it has terpenes and flavonoids, and you can feature it in the panna cotta recipe to benefit from these additional compounds.

Will CBD Change the Taste of Panna Cotta?

People have different taste buds, making it difficult to tell how CBD tastes. Many users claim that it tastes earthy, nutty, or grassy, which changes significantly depending on the brand and the base liquid. Most alcohol-based CBD oils and tinctures are bitter, while the oil-based versions are nuttier or earthier, depending on the carrier oil. However, this taste does not change how panna cotta tastes. If anything, you only add a few drops of the cannabinoid to the dessert, which you don’t expect to alter the panna cotta taste significantly. However, putting too much CBD on panna cotta can alter the taste. Keep the dosage low, especially when starting on the cannabinoid, and are not yet sure how the body will respond to it. As you keep incorporating CBD in recipes, one can increase the dosage and concentration gradually.
