Pay a visit to any of the coffeeshops listed below to access the best edibles in Amsterdam.

AMSTERDAM COFFEESHOP AWARDS — BEST EDIBLES

Amsterdam houses over 200 coffeeshops. It's hard to identify the best among them, especially when it comes to edibles. Luckily, the Amsterdam Coffeeshop Awards 2019–2020 had the help of over 54,000 votes cast from over 50 countries. Voters helped to decide the best coffeeshops in multiple categories, including best edible cannabis.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF EDIBLES

Edible cannabis users are spoilt for choice when it comes to munching on cannabis-infused treats. Most recipes use cannabutter, an extract that infuses butter or coconut oil with cannabinoids. Cannabutter can infuse almost any recipe imaginable—sweet or savoury.

Popular edibles found in coffeeshops throughout Amsterdam include space cakes, brownies, and gummies.

MAKE YOUR OWN CANNABIS EDIBLES

Making edibles is a fun process in the kitchen at home. It's an excellent way to use leftover trim from your harvest as well. Your imagination is the only limit. First, you'll need to decarboxylate your flowers, a process that converts THCA into THC. Once you've done this, try your hand at making some infused mac n’ cheese, peanut butter coconut cookies, chocolate, and apple pie. If you want to impress your friends, cook them an entire cannabis-infused three-course meal.
