MAKES: 10 DOZEN
INGREDIENTS
8 oz. organic cream cheese (one package)
2 tbsp (28 g.) organic salted butter
1 tsp organic coconut oil
850 g. (6 cups) organic powdered sugar, sifted
1 tbsp organic peppermint flavor (or if you’re using extract only 1 ½ tsp)
2-3 Color Kitchen Color packets (yellow, pink, blue shown here)
water
DIRECTIONS
In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the cream cheese, butter and coconut oil. Mix on low until combined then speed mixer up to high and whip for 1-2 minutes.
Turn the speed down to medium and slowly incorporate all the powdered sugar. Once completely incorporated, scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl and add the vanilla extract and peppermint flavor. Then turn speed up to high and whip again for 1-2 minutes.
Separate into three different bowls, each bowl should have about 221 g. each.
In one bowl add ½ tsp yellow and just a drop of water on top of the yellow to help incorporate. Stir to combine completely.
In the second bowl, add ⅛ tsp pink and ⅛ tsp blue to make lavender and a drop of water. And in the third, add ¼ tsp blue and ¼ tsp yellow to make mint and a drop of water. Stir both so they are completely combined.
Put each color in a piping bag with decorating tip #864.
