- 6 ounces cream cheese room temperature (¾ brick)
- 4 tablespoons butter room temperature (½ stick, unsalted
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Food Coloring red and green
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the powdered sugar, cream cheese, butter, and peppermint extract together until completely smooth, about 3 minutes.
- In a piping bag fitted with a star tip, use the handle of a spoon or a toothpick to place 3 lines of red or green food coloring in the piping bag. The lines should be up and down the length of the bag and not sideways.
- Fill the bag ¾ full with the cream cheese mint mixture.
- Place a piece of parchment paper on the counter. Hold the piping bag at a 90-degree angle above the parchment paper. Pipe little swirls onto the parchment, making sure none of them touch, until all of the mint mixture is used.
- These mints can be as large or as small as you would like. Once all of the mints are piped, let set for 24 hours at room temperature to dry completely before storing.
Notes
- Yield: This recipe makes approx. 6 cups of mints.
- Storage: Store Christmas cream cheese mints in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
