What You Want

Whereas I typically have the endurance for a extra advanced frosting (separating and tempering eggs — I’m you Swiss meringue buttercream) frostings which are straight up easy when it comes to substances and methodology will at all times have my coronary heart. At present’s recipe checks each these containers, nothing fancy right here, only a few fundamentals:

• Oreo cookies. You want fewer than you may suppose (which leaves loads of extras for snacking on later — or use them for some Oreo cupcakes to place the frosting on!). 6 Oreo cookies will create the ½ cup of Oreo crumbs we’ll want. I don’t take away the cream, because it’s an integral a part of the Oreo taste. See my tip under on the best way to pulverize the cookies so you could have a superbly easy, pipe-able frosting that gained’t clog your piping tip!
• Unsalted butter. Be certain that your butter is softened earlier than you start. For those who solely have salted butter available, be happy to make use of that and skip the extra salt.
• Powdered sugar. Whenever you use the total quantity of sugar I’ve listed within the recipe, your frosting can be good and durable. For those who cut back the sugar (and also you definitely can!), your frosting can be softer and fewer inclined to carry its form. When made as written its consistency is very like basic buttercream.
• Cream cheese. Simply 4 ounces of brick-style, full-fat (that is key!) cream cheese tempers the sweetness and provides a *true* cookies and cream taste to this frosting. Whereas it doesn’t make the frosting style like a straight-up cream cheese frosting, it tempers the sweetness and rounds out the flavour, all of my taste-testers most popular it to the opposite variations I’d examined with out cream cheese.
• Vanilla extract. I exploit a decreased quantity of vanilla extract on this recipe so the Oreo taste can shine.

SAM’S TIP: For those who plan to pipe this frosting by a piping tip, you actually need to ensure your cookies are finely pulverized. If not, you’ll have cookie crumbs clogging your piping tip, which may be extraordinarily irritating! I even prefer to sift my crumbs after I pulverize mine, simply to be secure. I exploit this multitool for this step, however you could possibly additionally use a meals processor. Crushing with a rolling pin doesn’t get the items fairly tremendous sufficient to pipe, so if you happen to’re utilizing a piping tip undoubtedly sift after crushing.

Bear in mind, that is simply an outline of the substances I used and why. For the total recipe please scroll right down to the underside of the put up!
