How To Make Oreo Frosting
Step 1: In a food processor, or blender, pulse the oreo cookies until very fine. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer, or using a large bowl and hand mixer, beat the butter along with ½ cup of powdered sugar. Keep adding a ½ cup at a time until all well combined.
Step 2: Scrape down the bowl and add the vanilla, heavy cream, and crushed Oreos. Mix until combined.
If the frosting is too thick, add an additional teaspoon of heavy cream one at a time until desired thickness is achieved. Spread onto cake or pipe onto cupcakes.

Recipe Tips
- The finer you blend the Oreos, the creamier the texture will be. Remember you can always top your dessert with additional cookies for added crunch.
- Using the paddle attachment on your stand mixer will make your frosting fluffier and airier.
- If you want to pipe this buttercream onto a cake or cupcakes, you’ll need it to be a very firm texture. If you want a firmer frosting, add more confectioner’s sugar. If you want a softer frosting, add more liquid.
