Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 5 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 3–4 tablespoons heavy cream
- 8 Oreo chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
Instructions
- In a stand mixer with a wire whisk or a medium bowl with a handheld mixer, beat the softened butter, cream cheese, and vanilla for 2-2½ minutes until smooth and fluffy.
- Reduce mixer speed to medium-low. Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1½ cups at a time, while alternating with 1 tablespoon of heavy cream for each sugar addition. Add an extra ½ cup of powdered sugar if the consistency is too soft.
- Mix until the frosting is entirely smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the finely crushed Oreos, ensuring no large clumps remain to avoid difficulties in piping.
- If not using immediately or in a warm kitchen, refrigerate the frosting until ready to use.
- Before using, allow to reach room temperature for 20–30 minutes, then re-whip for 15–30 seconds to fluff.
Notes
Ensure the Oreo cookies are finely crushed for a smooth texture, especially if piping the frosting.
If the frosting is too soft, you can add more powdered sugar to achieve the desired consistency.
Refrigerate any leftovers to maintain freshness.
