BLNCD x Jovial Velvet Harvest Recipe

BLNCD x Jovial Velvet Harvest Recipe

Inspired by carrot cake, this mocktail serves as the perfect concoction to get you in the autumnal spirit.

This one’s for the overachievers — or at least for those who pretend to be. It takes a few extra steps, sure, but the result is pure alchemy. Inspired by carrot cake, the final flavor is light, spiced, and silky-smooth — a dessert in disguise that refreshes instead of overwhelms. The roasted carrots bring a natural sweetness, chai adds warmth and depth, and the cream cheese foam is a total showstopper at any fall gathering.

Jovial Velvet Harvest Recipe

  • 50 ml BLNCD Fuse THC Spirit
  • 8 large carrots
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 3 cups brewed vanilla chai tea (from 4 bags; add ½ tsp vanilla extract if using regular chai)
    ½ cup cinnamon syrup (recipe below)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cream soda (to taste, about 1–2 cups)

Cinnamon Syrup

  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 3 cinnamon sticks

Warm all ingredients in a small pot over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let infuse for 30 minutes. Strain and cool.

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Foam (contains dairy)

  • ¼ cup cream cheese
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup cinnamon syrup

Combine all ingredients and whip using an iSi cream whipper with N₂O cartridges. (If you don’t have one, whisk or blend until frothy — it’ll still taste heavenly, just with a softer texture.) Chill before using. For a more stable foam, add a pinch of soy lecithin, xanthan gum, or methylcellulose.

Carrot Base

Roast 8 chopped carrots (1–2 inch pieces) at 400°F for 15–20 minutes until soft. Once cool, blend with ½ cup water until smooth. Add more water if needed, then strain through a nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or fine mesh sieve. You should get about 2½–3 cups of vibrant, sweet carrot juice with a subtle roasted depth.

To Assemble

Blend the carrot juice, coconut milk, brewed chai tea, cinnamon syrup, and salt until smooth. Pour into a pitcher with ice and top with cream soda.

To Serve

Pour into a glass, add a serving of BLNCD Fuse THC Spirit, top with the cinnamon cream cheese foam, and garnish with a cinnamon stick.
