This Oreo Cream Cheese Frosting is a rich and creamy topping that perfectly combines tangy cream cheese with sweet butter and powdered sugar, enhanced by the crunchy texture and distinctive flavor of crushed Oreo cookies. Ideal for cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts, this frosting offers a delicious twist to traditional cream cheese frostings.

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 bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and salted butter together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Add powdered sugar gradually: Slowly add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese and butter mixture while continuing to beat on low speed, allowing the sugar to fully incorporate and create a fluffy texture.
  3. Fold in crushed Oreos: Gently fold the crushed Oreo cookies into the frosting mixture using a spatula until they are evenly distributed throughout the frosting without breaking down too much.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure cream cheese and butter are fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • Crush Oreos to your preferred texture, either finely for a smoother frosting or coarsely for added crunch.
  • This frosting is best used immediately or stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Allow refrigerated frosting to come to room temperature and re-whip slightly before spreading.
