Lemon Cream Cheese mints

These lemon cream cheese "mints" are a refreshing way to switch up cream cheese mints!  All you need to do is replace the traditional peppermint extract with lemon extract and lemon zest!

Servings 40 mints

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces softened cream cheese 1/2 a block of cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp softened unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp lemon extract
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Add the softened cream cheese, butter, lemon extract, and zest to a large mixing bowl. Mix well.

  2. Add the powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time, and mix until you get a dough-like consistency that isn’t sticky.

  3.  Place the cream cheese mixture into 1/2-inch balls onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

  4. Press each mint down with the tines of a fork. 

  5. Let the mints chill for at least an hour in the refrigerator before serving.
