Ingredients

Frosting Ingredients

  • 1 cup softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup salted softened butter
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup crushed Oreo cookies

Instructions

  1. Beat Cream Cheese and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and softened salted butter together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Powdered Sugar Gradually: Slowly add the powdered sugar a little at a time while continuing to beat the mixture to ensure it incorporates evenly and remains smooth.
  3. Fold in Crushed Oreos: Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies using a spatula until they are evenly distributed throughout the frosting without overmixing to maintain texture.

Notes

  • Make sure both the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for a smooth consistency.
  • For best flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and salted butter, though unsalted butter can be used with an added pinch of salt.
  • Crush Oreos finely or coarsely depending on desired texture.
  • Store leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature and briefly re-whip before using.
  • This frosting pairs wonderfully with chocolate, vanilla, and red velvet cakes or cupcakes.
