Oreo Buttercream Frosting
Oreo Buttercream Frosting is a rich and creamy topping that combines the classic flavor of Oreo cookies with buttercream, perfect for cakes, cupcakes, and cookies.
Ingredients
Frosting Base
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened) You can use salted butter instead; adjust salt amount accordingly.
- 1 pound powdered sugar About 3.5-4 cups.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For flavor.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt To taste.
- 2 tablespoons whipping cream or milk Optional; can increase up to 1/4 cup.
Cookies
- 10-12 pieces Oreos or other sandwich cookies Finely crushed.
Instructions
Preparation
- Pulse the cookies in a food processor or crush finely with a knife.
Mixing the Frosting
- Add the softened butter to a standing mixer or a large bowl with a handheld mixer. Mix on medium to medium high for 3-4 minutes, until the butter is pale and fluffy.
- Add the powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla. Mix on low for 30-60 seconds to avoid a powdered sugar cloud.
- Once well combined, turn up the speed and mix on medium high for another 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Adjust the consistency by adding milk or cream, mixing for another minute until incorporated.
- Add the crushed cookies and mix for another minute until evenly distributed.
