Oreo Frosting

This smooth frosting is loaded with Oreo crumbs to create the most amazing Oreo buttercream you've ever had. We love to use this on top of Oreo cupcakes, black velvet cupcakes, cookies, or any cake!

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar
5-6 tablespoons heavy cream more if needed
12 Oreo cookies pulsed into fine powder (keep the filling inside the Oreo cookies)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment cream the butter until smooth, about 1 minute on medium speed. Add the powdered sugar and heavy cream and whip until smooth. Add the vanilla extract, crushed Oreos, and salt. Mix on medium speed until light and fluffy. About 2 minutes. Add more heavy cream, a tablespoon at a time, if needed, to reach your desired consistency.
When piping this frosting use a tip that has a bigger diameter, sometimes the crushed Oreo cookies can clog up smaller piping tips.

Notes

Makes enough to frost 16 cupcakes fairly generously.

For best results, store the frosting and any desserts with the frosting in or on them in the fridge.
