Christmas Cream Cheese Mints

Nothing is more festive on your party table than a plateful of brightly colored Christmas Cream Cheese Mints.

INGREDIENTS

– cream cheese – room temperature – powdered sugar – measure and then sift – peppermint extract – food coloring

STEP 1

Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on a medium speed for 5-10 minutes, until it is light and fluffy.

Slowly beat in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time on low. Add additional cups, only once the last one is fully incorporated.

STEP 2

Add in peppermint extract and beat for 1 more minute. Put the cream cheese mixture into a separate bowl for each color you plan on using. Add the color and mix with a fork.

STEP 3

Fill a piping bag fitted with your desired  tip with the colored cream cheese mix. Pipe the shapes onto a cookie  sheet covered with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

STEP 4

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, preferably for 24 hours.
