Cannabis infused hummus is a simple way to turn a healthy snack into a customizable edible. This guide explains the ingredient order, texture techniques, and infusion options so you can control both flavor and potency while keeping the recipe approachable for beginners.
Unlike many edibles, hummus does not require baking or complicated preparation. Once you understand how the base ingredients interact, you can consistently create a creamy dip that works with vegetables, bread, or meals. It’s also a convenient recipe because portions are easy to measure, making dosage management more predictable compared to baked goods.

Why Ingredient Order Matters
The smoothness of cannabis infused hummus depends heavily on mixing order. Blending liquids first allows the tahini to emulsify properly before the chickpeas are added.
Start with:
- Lemon juice
- Tahini
- Garlic
- Cumin
- Salt and pepper
- Oil (infused or regular)
Blending these ingredients first forms a creamy base. If chickpeas are added too early, the mixture becomes grainy instead of smooth. The acids from lemon juice help break down the sesame paste, improving texture and reducing bitterness.
After blending, scrape the sides and blend again before adding chickpeas. This extra step ensures no dense pockets remain and prevents uneven flavor distribution.
Choosing and Using Cannabis Oil
The infusion step is flexible. You can:
- Use fully infused oil
- Mix infused and regular oil
- Skip infusion entirely
For balanced potency, split the fat content:
- Half infused oil
- Half regular olive oil
This keeps flavor intact and avoids overpowering strength while allowing gradual dosing. Many people prefer starting with mild servings because edibles can take longer to evaluate compared to inhaled methods.
Important: Potency depends entirely on how strong your infused oil is. Always start low when testing a new batch and wait before consuming more.
Preparing the Chickpeas for Creaminess
Chickpeas determine the final texture.
You have two options:
Faster Method
Use canned chickpeas, rinse thoroughly, and remove some skins.
Ultra-Smooth Method
Remove all skins before blending.
This produces noticeably creamier cannabis infused hummus but takes more time.
Add the chickpeas after the base mixture is smooth, then blend thoroughly. Longer blending produces better results than adding extra oil, and patience here greatly improves the final consistency.
Adjusting Texture with Water
After blending, the hummus will likely be thick. Gradually add water while blending.
Add 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach:
- Thick spread → less water
- Dip consistency → more water
Blending longer improves smoothness more than adding extra oil. Cold water in particular helps create a lighter, fluffier texture because it emulsifies the tahini more effectively.
Optional Flavor Additions
You can customize the recipe without affecting infusion strength:
- Cayenne pepper for heat
- Chili peppers
- Roasted red pepper
- Extra garlic
- Sumac or paprika topping
- Chili oil drizzle
Toppings improve presentation but also help preserve moisture on the surface. Adding herbs like parsley or cilantro can also brighten the flavor without altering potency.
Serving Ideas
Cannabis infused hummus works with many foods:
- Raw vegetables
- Pita bread
- Crackers
- Sandwich spreads
- Grain bowls
Because it is fat-based, effects may take longer to appear compared to inhalation. Eat slowly and wait before consuming more. Sharing portions in small servings helps keep intake predictable and avoids accidental overconsumption.
Storage Tips
Refrigerate in a sealed container.
Add a thin layer of olive oil on top to prevent drying.
Shelf life: about 4–5 days refrigerated.
Do not freeze — texture becomes grainy after thawing. Stir before serving since natural separation can occur during storage.
FAQ
Does heating destroy the infusion?
No. This recipe does not cook after infusion, so potency remains stable.
Can I make it non-infused?
Yes. Replace infused oil with regular olive oil and follow the same steps.
How do I control potency?
Use less infused oil or dilute it with regular oil. Always test a small serving first.
Why is my hummus grainy?
Either chickpeas were added too early or not blended long enough. Removing skins also improves texture.
