Category: Frosting

Serves: enough to frost 12 cupcakes

Ingredients
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.
