- 4 oz cream cheese at room temperature
- 5 oz unsalted butter at room temperature
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4-1/2 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
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
This makes enough frosting to frost 12 cupcakes normally. If you scoop it on like I did, you won't have quite enough.
