Begin by taking your softened cream cheese and placing it in a mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.

Gradually add in the sifted powdered sugar while mixing on low speed. Increase speed to medium after 2 minutes and mix for another 2-3 minutes until thick.

Stir in the vanilla extract, orange juice, and orange zest into the mixture using a spatula, folding gently for 1-2 minutes.

Divide the mixture into two bowls. Add food coloring to one bowl and swirl it into the other without fully blending.

Prepare your silicone molds by dusting them with powdered sugar or cornstarch to prevent sticking.

Spoon the mixture into molds, smoothing the tops. Fill them about three-quarters full.

Chill the filled molds in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until firm.

Remove the mints from molds after chilling and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
