Description

The flavors of mint chocolate chip ice cream meets cookie dough in this delicious frosting that mint lovers will go crazy for.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 5 oz unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 23 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/41/2 teaspoon mint extract (depending on how strong you want it)
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • green food coloring
  • 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine the cream cheese and butter in a bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until light and creamy. Add the brown sugar and beat in completely.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of the milk, the vanilla extract and the mint extract and beat to combine. Beat in the flour, then beat in the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time. If the frosting is too stiff, add up to 1 more tablespoon of milk. Add in enough food coloring to reach your desired shade of green, and beat the frosting for 30-60 seconds to completely combine. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Recipe Notes:

This makes enough frosting to frost 12 cupcakes normally. If you scoop it on like I did, you won’t have quite enough.
