Cannabis Melting Moments
Cannabis Melting Moments. Approximately ~15mg THC per sandwich at full strength. 60 min total, 18 sandwiches yield.
Melting Moments are the aristocrats of Australian biscuit tins — delicate shortbread rounds that crumble at first bite, traditionally sandwiched with butter cream and rolled in coconut. These ethereal treats earned their name from their tendency to dissolve on your tongue, making them perfect for afternoon tea or special occasions.
Our cannabis-infused version replaces regular butter with cannabutter in both the biscuit and filling, creating a sophisticated edible that delivers approximately 15mg THC per sandwich when made with standard cannabutter. Start with half a biscuit if you’re new to edibles, or calculate your exact dose with our free Edibles Dosage Calculator.

Preheat your oven to 160°C and line two baking trays with parchment paper. Spread the desiccated coconut on a plate ready for rolling.
Cream 200g room-temperature cannabutter with 80g icing sugar using ONGROK UV Glass Storage Jars (2-pack, Child-Resistant) and electric beaters until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Sift together plain flour, cornflour, and salt. Gradually fold into the cannabutter mixture until just combined — don’t overmix or the biscuits will be tough.
Shape the dough into walnut-sized balls (about 20g each) and roll each ball in desiccated coconut until completely coated. Place on prepared trays, leaving 4cm between each biscuit.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until just set but not browned — they should still be pale. Cool on trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Make the filling by beating 100g softened cannabutter with 200g icing sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to create a smooth, pipeable consistency.
Sandwich cooled biscuits with buttercream filling, using about 1 teaspoon per sandwich. Dust with extra icing sugar before serving.
Temperature Control
Keep cannabutter at optimal temperature — too cold and it won’t cream properly, too warm and the dough becomes sticky.
Half-Strength Option
Replace half the cannabutter with regular butter for gentler 7.5mg servings — perfect for beginners or daytime treats.
Coconut Coating
Press coconut firmly into each ball to ensure it sticks during baking — loose coconut will burn in the oven.
Storage Success
Unfilled biscuits stay crisp for days, but sandwich them just before serving to prevent the filling from making them soggy.
Even Baking
Rotate trays halfway through baking for even colour, and don’t overbake — these should remain pale and delicate.
Label Everything
Mark your container with “Cannabis Melting Moments – 15mg each” and today’s date for safe storage.
| Method | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Room temperature | 3 days | Airtight container, unfilled |

Absolutely! Replace half the cannabutter with regular butter to reduce potency to about 7.5mg per sandwich. This is perfect for beginners or when you want a gentler experience. Make sure both butters are at room temperature for proper creaming.
Onset time is typically 30-120 minutes after eating, with peak effects at 2-3 hours. The high fat content in these buttery biscuits may speed absorption slightly. Always wait at least 90 minutes before consuming more.
Yes, decarboxylation is essential to activate the THC. This should be done before making your cannabutter. If you’re using pre-made cannabutter, decarboxylation has already been completed during the infusion process.
Store unfilled biscuits in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature. Once filled, refrigerate for up to 5 days. Always label containers with dosage information and keep away from children and pets.
Stay calm and find a comfortable place to rest. Drink water, try CBD if available, and consider chewing black peppercorns (the terpenes may help). Effects will pass in 4-8 hours. Call Australian Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 if concerned.
Cannabis coconut oil can be substituted, but the texture will be different — less buttery and more crumbly. Use the same quantities and ensure the oil is solid but workable (refrigerate if needed). The coconut flavour will be more pronounced.
