Slowly add the powdered sugar until thick. The mixture should be stiff enough to hold a peak. 5. If you plan to make a few different colors of mints, divide the cream cheese into two separate bowls before adding the food coloring. 6. Green mints need about 3 drops of green food coloring, and pink mints need about 1 drop of red food coloring. 7. Add the food coloring to the cream cheese mixture and mix until the desired color is reached. 8. Put the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag fitted with a medium star tip and make about nickel sized amounts on the parchment lined sheet pans. 9. Place sheet pan in the freezer for 2 hours to allow the mints to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and enjoy! |
