Frost your cake or cupcakes with Oreo frosting
- Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Cookies: Grab your Oreo cookies (filling or no filling, it's your call!). Roughly chop them into chunks, aiming for a mix of bigger and smaller pieces. Think "chunky milkshake" texture. Sift out any leftover cookie crumbs to avoid a gritty frosting.
- Step 2: Whip Up the Cream: Chill a mixing bowl to keep your frosting nice and fluffy. Pour in the whipping cream mixture and turn your mixer to high speed. Keep beating until soft peaks form.
- Step 3: Mix it Up: Slowly sprinkle in the powdered sugar while the mixer continues. Keep mixing until you reach stiff peaks – think firm marshmallow peaks that don't droop when you stop the mixer.
- Step 4: Add Your Oreos: Just before you reach peak stiffness, add the Oreo pudding mix. Switch your mixer to slow and gently combine the pudding with the whipped cream. Keep an eye on the bottom – scrape down the sides if any pudding gets stuck to the sides.
- Step 5: Fold and Finish: Turn the mixer off and give the mixture a few folds with a spoon, incorporating everything evenly. Turn your mixer back on for a short burst to ensure everything is smooth and creamy. Fold in the Oreo chunks with a spoon. Frost.

Absolutely! Double-stuffed Oreos will add even more creaminess and flavor to the frosting. Just crush them into fine crumbs before folding them into the frosting.
While an electric mixer makes the process quicker and easier, you can certainly make Oreo frosting without one. Simply use a sturdy whisk or wooden spoon to beat the butter and incorporate the other ingredients until smooth and creamy.
