Description

Indulge in the irresistible flavor of Oreo Frosting, a creamy and decadent topping that combines the rich taste of Oreo cookies with smooth buttercream. This versatile frosting is perfect for cakes, cupcakes, and other sweet treats, adding a delightful cookies-and-cream twist to your favorite desserts.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 10 Oreo cookies (115g)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (226g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted (360g)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oreo crumbs
    In a food processor, process the Oreo cookies until they become very fine crumbs. Alternatively, place the cookies in a zip-top plastic bag and crush them finely using a rolling pin.
  2. Beat the butter
    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the softened butter on medium speed for about 2 minutes until creamy and smooth.
  3. Add initial ingredients
    Incorporate the vanilla extract, salt, and half of the powdered sugar into the butter mixture. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, just until combined.
  4. Mix in remaining ingredients
    Add 1 tablespoon of heavy cream and the remaining powdered sugar. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds until combined, then increase the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  5. Incorporate Oreo crumbs
    Add the pulverized Oreos to the buttercream and beat on medium speed for 30 seconds to 1 minute until well combined. If the frosting appears dry, add the remaining heavy cream, 1 teaspoon at a time, mixing to achieve the desired consistency.

Notes

  • Use softened butter for a velvety texture. Set butter out an hour before baking or follow quick softening methods.
  • Whole milk or half-and-half can substitute heavy cream.
  • Add heavy cream gradually, starting with 1 tablespoon and adjusting as needed.
  • Garnish with crushed Oreos, halved Oreos, or mini Oreos for added decoration.
