Valentine’s Cream Cheese Butter Mints

Ingredients:

4 oz cream cheese, softened

4 cups powdered sugar, sifted

2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

1/4 tsp peppermint extract

Gel food coloring (red and pink)

Granulated sugar (for coating)

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until creamy and smooth.

Add peppermint extract and mix well. Gradually add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing until the dough is smooth and not sticky.

Divide the dough into three portions. Leave one plain, color one with red food coloring, and the other with pink food coloring. Knead the colors in evenly.

Roll each portion into a flat sheet and cut out heart shapes using a small heart-shaped cutter.

Roll each heart in granulated sugar to coat.

Place the hearts on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Chill Time: 2 hours | Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes

Kcal: 35 kcal per piece | Servings: 60-70 mints

Tips:

Ensure the cream cheese and butter are fully softened for a smooth texture.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. #valentinesbrunch #buttermints #foodie

Valentine’s Cream Cheese Butter Mints are a delightful confection that’s easy to make and perfect for sharing with loved ones during the Valentine’s season. These mints not only offer a delicious taste but also a festive appearance, especially when shaped like hearts and colored in shades of red and pink. To elevate this treat, consider personalizing your mints with additional flavors such as vanilla or almond extract, which can add a unique twist to the classic peppermint flavor. Experimenting with various food colorings can also allow you to create stunning color combinations for different occasions, making these mints versatile beyond Valentine's Day. For those looking to make their mints extra special, adding edible glitter or sprinkling crushed peppermint candies on top before setting them can enhance both their look and flavor. These small touches can turn a simple recipe into a gourmet experience that will impress friends and family alike. Storing these mints properly is essential to maintain their freshness. Placing them in airtight containers in the refrigerator allows them to last up to two weeks, ensuring that you can enjoy them long after they’re made. Whether you’re preparing for a romantic dinner or a fun gathering with friends, these mints will surely be a highlight of your dessert offerings!
