Ingredients notes

You need these ingredients to make this Oreo cookies and cream frosting:

• Cream cheese: Make sure to use cold, full-fat cream cheese.
• Heavy cream: Opt for full-fat, cold heavy cream with at least 30% fat content, or heavy whipping cream with at least 35% fat content.
• Sugar: Use powdered sugar (also known as icing or confectioner's sugar) instead of granulated sugar to avoid any graininess in the frosting.
• Vanilla: Use pure vanilla extract or the seeds from a vanilla bean for the best flavor.
• Oreo cookies: Crushed Oreo cookies are finely crushed in a food processor until you have a fine crumb texture.

Storage Instructions

In the fridge: Leftover cream cheese frosting can be stored covered with plastic wrap or an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. (Whip again to smooth the frosting before using it in your cakes).

Freezing: It's not advisable to freeze the Oreo frosting, as it won't thaw well unless it's already been used as a filling in a cake layer.

Recipe Questions

Can I make this frosting ahead of time?

While it's possible to make this frosting ahead of time, it's best to prepare it as close to serving time as possible. This ensures that the frosting maintains its optimal texture and flavor.

If you do need to make it in advance, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and give it a good stir before using.
