Ingredients
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese, room temperature
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- Zest of 2 lemons

Whisk yolks and sugar over a double boiler for 4 minutes until pale and ribbon-like; cool to lukewarm.

Beat in mascarpone and lemon zest until smooth.

Whip heavy cream to soft peaks; fold gently into the mascarpone mixture.

Combine limoncello, lemon juice, and water in a shallow bowl. Whisk in cannabis-infused honey while still lukewarm (do not boil).

Cooking tips
- Whisking infused honey into a warm (not boiling) syrup keeps the dose stable.

Why this pairing works
Limonene — in your strain and on your plate
The brightest terpene on our list, limonene is the citrus engine behind sativa-leaning, mood-elevating strains. It pairs naturally with bright, acidic dishes and works beautifully as a daytime, social terpene.
