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
- 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. - Cream 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. - Add initial ingredients
Incorporate the vanilla extract, salt, and half of the powdered sugar into the creamed butter. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, just until combined. - 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. - 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
- For best results, use room temperature butter. Set it out about an hour before starting the recipe.
- Substitute whole milk or half-and-half for heavy cream if needed.
- Garnish cakes or cupcakes with additional crushed Oreos or half an Oreo cookie for added visual appeal.
- Store leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
