Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk
  • 12-14 Oreos, finely crushed, about 1 ¼ cups of cookie crumbs

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, beat the butter using a stand or electric mixer until smooth, creamy, and light, about 4 minutes.
  • Add 2 cups of the powdered sugar, beating together until combined.
  • Add in the remaining powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt and mix until combined.
  • Add just enough heavy cream or milk to get the frosting to a nice pipeable consistency.
  • Stir in the Oreos with a spoon, then use a piping bag to frost your cake, cupcakes, or brownies.

Notes

  • Unsalted butter: If you use unsalted butter, also add ¼ teaspoon of salt to the mix.
Storage:
  • Fridge: Store frosting in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Bring it to room temperature before using it so that it moves easier.
  • Freezing: Put in an airtight container or Ziploc bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost thoroughly before using it.
