Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 10 Oreo cookies
- 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 1/2 cups (300 grams) powdered sugar
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Liquid Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Crush Oreo cookies in a food processor until they transform into fine, uniform crumbs, ensuring no large pieces remain.
- Using an electric mixer, whip butter in a spacious mixing bowl until it becomes airy and pale, approximately 2-3 minutes at medium-high speed.
- Gradually incorporate powdered sugar into the whipped butter, blending thoroughly after each addition to create a smooth, consistent mixture.
- Introduce vanilla extract, pulverized cookie crumbs, and a delicate touch of salt to the buttercream, mixing until all components are perfectly integrated.
- Incrementally pour in heavy cream while continuously beating the frosting at high speed, adjusting the volume until the texture achieves a luxurious, spreadable consistency that holds its shape elegantly.
Notes
- Crush Oreos Finely: Use a food processor for uniform, fine crumbs that blend seamlessly into the frosting without large chunks.
- Room Temperature Butter: Ensure butter is soft but not melted for the smoothest, most spreadable consistency that whips up beautifully.
- Gradual Sugar Addition: Incorporate powdered sugar slowly to prevent lumps and achieve a silky, cloud-like texture that’s perfect for spreading.
- Cream Consistency Control: Adjust cream amount carefully to reach your ideal frosting thickness – less cream for pipe-able decorations, more for a softer spread.
