Equipment
- Piping Bag
- Piping Tips
Ingredients
- 1 Oreo
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1 ounce cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon milk or cream
Instructions
- Begin by separating the Oreo cookies. You can either discard or enjoy the filling, but for this recipe, you only need the cookie halves. Place them in a small plastic bag and crush them into a fine crumb using a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy glass. It’s satisfying to see the cookies break down into tiny pieces, so take your time.
- Next, in a medium bowl, combine the softened butter and cream cheese. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You should aim for a fluffy texture that’s easy to spread.
- Now it’s time to add the powdered sugar, crushed Oreos, salt, and milk or cream into the bowl. Mix them together until the sugar is fully incorporated, and the frosting becomes fluffy. If it appears too thick, don’t hesitate to add more milk or cream a teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Once your frosting is light and fluffy, it’s ready to be used. Whether you choose to frost cupcakes, cookies, or enjoy it straight from the bowl, you won’t be disappointed. Just make sure to frost something delicious and enjoy every bite!
Notes
- Tip 1: Store any leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just give it a stir before using again!
- Tip 2: You can freeze the frosting for up to three months. Just thaw it in the fridge before using.
- Tip 3: This frosting goes wonderfully with chocolate cupcakes, vanilla cakes, or even as a dip for fruit.
- Tip 4: Try adding crushed candy canes for a holiday twist or even peanut butter for a unique flavor profile.
- Tip 5: Experiment with other cookie bases, such as vanilla wafers or chocolate chip cookies, for a different taste.
