• Heavy cream: Only full-fat and cold heavy cream with a minimum fat content of 30% or heavy whipping cream with a minimum of 35%.
• Sugar: Powdered sugar (icing sugar or confectioner sugar) rather than granulated sugar, so as not to feel the grains in the icing.

Chocolate: Add unsweetened cocoa powder to make a version of chocolate Oreo frosting as in my chocolate mascarpone whipped cream recipe.

How to make Cookies and cream Frosting

• Finely blend the Oreo cookies in a food processor to obtain a very fine powder with no lumps.
• Place all ingredients in a large bowl, cold mascarpone cheese, cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and Oreo cookie crumbs.
• Whip with an electric mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes, until you have a smooth and fluffy frosting.

Tip: Place the mixing bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes with all the ingredients, then whip them with a hand mixer to make a smooth frosting with a thick consistency.

Storage and tips

In the fridge: Cover the Oreo frosting recipe with plastic wrap or in a storage tin and store 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 whipped cream frosting, as it won't thaw well unless it's already been used as a filling in a cake layer.

Use cold ingredients: place the heavy cream, either on its own or with the other ingredients, in the freezer for 10 minutes before whipping.

Use an electric mixer rather than a stand mixer: unless you're making large quantities of frosting.

Be careful not to overbeat the frosting: otherwise, it will slice and become grainy, so always mix at medium speed to keep an eye on the texture of the cream and stop before it becomes grainy.
