Oreo buttercream Frosting Recipe
Oreo frosting is a rich, creamy, and indulgent topping that takes your desserts up a notch.
Equipment
- stand mixer
- silicone spatula
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 3 ½ cups powdered sugar (spooned and leveled)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
- 7 oreo cookies plus additional for topping if desired
Instructions
- Use a food processor to crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Set them aside for later.
- In a stand mixer, beat the butter until it becomes pale and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar while the mixer runs on low. Occasionally stop to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure everything mixes evenly.
- Once the sugar is fully incorporated, pour in the vanilla extract and blend until combined.
- Keeping the mixer on low, slowly pour in the heavy whipping cream. Continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Gently stir in the crushed Oreo crumbs until they are evenly distributed throughout the frosting.
Notes
- A food processor works best for a fine, even crumb, but a zip-top bag and rolling pin can also be used if needed.
- Make sure the butter is softened before beating for a smoother texture.
- Scrape the bowl frequently to prevent any lumps of sugar from forming.
- Add the heavy cream slowly to prevent splattering and ensure the frosting whips up smoothly.
- For a thicker frosting, add a little more powdered sugar. For a lighter consistency, add a touch more cream.
- If using unsalted butter, add ⅛ teaspoon of salt to this recipe.
