No baking here. Okay, maybe a little…

Ingredients

For the crust
1 ½ cups (170 g) graham cracker crumbs
6 tbsp (85 g) unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp (25 g) granulated sugar

For the filling
1 package (8 oz / 225 g) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 oz / 300 mL) sweetened condensed milk
½ cup (120 mL) key lime juice (or regular lime juice)
1 tbsp (15 mL) lime zest
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
1–2 tbsp (15–30 mL) cannabis-infused heavy cream (see below)

For the cannabis-infused heavy cream
½ cup (120 mL) heavy cream
½–1 gram decarboxylated cannabis (adjust potency as needed)

For garnish (optional)
Whipped cream
Lime slices or zest

Instructions
Prepare the cannabis-infused heavy cream
1. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the heavy cream until it just starts to steam. Do not let it boil.
2. Stir in the decarboxylated cannabis and let it infuse over low heat for 30–45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Strain the cream through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean container, discarding the plant material.
4. Let the infused cream cool to room temperature before using.

Make the crust
1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
2. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie pan, ensuring an even layer on the bottom and sides.
3. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

Prepare the filling
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
2. Add the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. Stir in the cannabis-infused heavy cream, mixing thoroughly. Adjust the amount based on desired potency.

Assemble and chill
1. Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully set.

Garnish and serve
1. Before serving, top with whipped cream, lime slices, or additional lime zest if desired.
2. Slice and enjoy responsibly.

Notes
The potency of the pie will depend on the strength of your cannabis infusion. Start with a small slice and wait at least two hours before consuming more.

If using a store-bought infused cream, adjust the amount to match your desired dosage.
