Ingredients

The following ingredients have 84 Servings
  • 4 ounce (1/2 block) cream cheese, (softened)
  • 1/4 teaspoon mint extract
  • 2-3 drops red food color
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1-2 Tablespoons milk
  • granulated sugar

Instruction

  • Using an electric or stand mixer, combine softened cream cheese with mint extract and food coloring. Beat until smooth and creamy (adding more food color, if necessary).
  • Slowly begin to add powdered sugar.
  • Keep mixer on low to keep the powdered sugar from flying everywhere.
  • Once you've added the powdered sugar, and your mixture is crumbly, you'll need to add some milk.
  • Add just one tablespoon at a time to get the right consistency. Mixture should be smooth but very stiff.
  • Once it starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl, you are good to go.
  • To make the mints, take about a teaspoon of the mixture and roll into a ball.
  • Then, using the palm of your hand, gently smoosh down the ball until it's flattened to about a 1/4" thick.
  • Then press the back of a fork lightly on the mints to form ridges.
  • Roll each mint in granulated sugar and then pop them in the refrigerator to cool and harden.
  • Once cooled, they are ready to eat!
