How to Make Mi Dana's Cream Cheese Mints
- In a large bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon peppermint extract. Mix until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- If desired, divide the dough into separate bowls for different colors.
- Add 1-2 drops of food coloring to each 1/4 of the dough, kneading until the color is evenly distributed. (Adjust amount of food coloring as needed)
- Knead in additional powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too sticky.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1/2 inch in diameter.
- Roll the balls in 1/2 cup granulated sugar until fully coated.
- Gently press the sugared balls into small candy molds, or flatten slightly using the bottom of a glass, your thumb, or a fork.
- Immediately transfer the mints to waxed paper or non-stick aluminum foil to dry.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mints to firm up. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
