Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered erythritol (or other powdered sugar substitute)
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered erythritol to the butter and cream cheese mixture, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth texture.
Stir in the peppermint extract. If you would like to add color to your butter mints, divide the mixture into batches and add a few drops of food coloring to each batch, stirring until evenly distributed.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag with a small round tip or use a small spoon to drop pea-sized mounds onto the parchment paper.
Refrigerate the mints for at least 1-2 hours, or until they are firm.
Once set, transfer the butter mints to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for longer storage.
