These lemon cream cheese “mints” are a refreshing way to switch up cream cheese mints for your wedding & baby showers this season!
This easy bite of dessert takes only a few pantry and fridge ingredients & is super easy to whip up! These are rich, sweet, & tart and won’t taste like the cream cheese mints your grandma used to make, but you will love this facelift!
- Softened cream cheese - Softened unsalted butter - Lemon extract - Powdered sugar - Freshly grated lemon zest
Add the softened cream cheese, butter, lemon extract, and zest to a large mixing bowl. Mix well. Add the powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time, and mix until you get a dough-like consistency that isn’t sticky.
Place the cream cheese mixture into 1/2-inch balls onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Press each mint down with the tines of a fork.
Let the mints chill for at least an hour in the refrigerator before serving.
