CBD peach cobbler: a home recipe for personal use

Since 15 May 2026, the Direction générale de l'alimentation (DGAL) has been removing from the French market any CBD food product without European authorisation, under EU Regulation 2015/2283 on novel foods. This recipe starts from a CBD oil you already own, for your own consumption: no sale, and no serving to guests without telling them.

CBD degrades above 160-180 °C depending on how long it is exposed, and partly loses its properties with prolonged cooking at high temperature. To preserve the molecule, always stir the CBD oil in after cooking, into a mixture cooled below 70 °C: a peach syrup that is still warm, a drizzle, or straight onto the individual portions as served.

Ingredients for the peaches: 1 kg ripe peaches, 80 g soft brown sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp cinnamon. For the streusel: 200 g flour, 100 g cold butter, 100 g sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, a pinch of salt. For the drizzle: your CBD oil, dosed according to your own personal use.

Method: preheat the oven to 190 °C. Cut the peaches into quarters, mix them with the brown sugar, lemon and cinnamon, and arrange them in a buttered dish. Rub the flour, butter, sugar, baking powder and salt together with your fingertips until you have a crumbly texture, then scatter it over the peaches. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is golden and the fruit is bubbling.

Leave to cool for 10 minutes at room temperature, below 70 °C, before drizzling a few drops of CBD oil over each portion.

If you pour 3 ml of a 5% oil (50 mg/ml) over all 6 portions, you are adding roughly 150 mg of CBD, or 25 mg per serving. That is far above the provisional safe daily dose published by EFSA on 9 February 2026, set at 0.0275 mg/kg/day, or about 2 mg for a 70 kg adult. For more cautious personal use, keep to a few drops spread over a single portion, once a day at most.

Swap the peaches for nectarines or apricots depending on the season. The cobbler keeps for two days in the fridge, streusel and fruit together; reheat the base on its own and add the CBD oil only when serving, once the portion has cooled. Always check the certificate of analysis for your oil before use; our CBD buying guide sets out the criteria to demand from a serious supplier.

CBD is not a medicine. If in doubt, consult a healthcare professional.

Can the CBD oil be baked with the peaches?

That is not recommended. Prolonged cooking above 160-180 °C degrades some of the CBD. Always add it off the heat, into a mixture that has cooled.

Can tinned peaches be used?

Yes; drain them well and reduce the added sugar slightly, as peaches in syrup are already sweetened.

How long does the cobbler keep?

Two days in the fridge, in an airtight container. Reheat only the baked base, without the CBD oil, before adding some again to the cooled portion.

Can this dessert be served to guests?

No, unless each of them is explicitly informed and has agreed beforehand. Since 15 May 2026, CBD desserts can no longer be marketed in France: this recipe is intended for personal use only.
