These Peppermint CBD Brownies will give you a 10mg hit of CBD to numb period pain, regulate your hormone levels, and fight menstrual migraines and nausea. That and they're just darn tasty.
Ingredients
For the brownies:
For the icing:
Instructions
  1. Grease and line a small brownie tin (I used an 8.5″ x 6.5″ tin) with greaseproof paper, be sure to leave enough excess so that you can lift the brownies out. Alternatively, use a loose based tin.
  2. Combine all of your ingredients for the brownies into the bowl of your food processor. Pulse a few times before processing until the mixture forms a smooth ball. Be sure to scrape down the sides frequently using a spatula to ensure that the ingredients mix process thoroughly.
  3. Drop in your brownie mixture and be sure to press down firmly until evenly distributed. Place into the freezer for 30 minutes or until firm.
  4. Whilst you're waiting for your brownies to firm up it's time to make your icing. Add your cacao butter and coconut oil to a heatproof bowl and place over a bain-marie on a low heat until melted. Stir in your powdered xylitol, spirulina, and CBD.
  5. Remove your brownies from the freezer and pour over the icing, spreading with an offset spatula. Return to the freezer and freeze for another 30 minutes until set.
  6. Remove from the freezer and remove the brownies from the tin. Using a clean knife slice into 16 equal squares, wiping the knife between cuts. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Each brownie contains 10.1mg - you can alter the CBD mg content as you wish to be higher or lower. Do not exceed 200mg per day.

I used the 'Peppermint' flavoured tincture but any of the other flavours would work equally as well.

*All cup measurements used are UK cup measurements and so 1 cup = 250ml. Please note that the prep time is largely setting time.
