Description
Classic cookies and cream frosting blends creamy richness with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies. Smooth buttercream combines with crunchy cookie pieces for a delightful dessert topping you can spread on cakes and cupcakes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 4 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
- 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
- 2 tbsps heavy cream
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whip softened butter in a spacious mixing vessel using medium-high speed until it transforms into a creamy, airy texture, approximately 4 minutes.
- Incorporate powdered sugar gradually, blending on low speed to create a silky, uniform consistency without lumps.
- Stream in heavy cream and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until the frosting achieves a luxurious, velvety smoothness.
- Delicately fold crushed cookies throughout the mixture, ensuring even distribution and maintaining a balanced texture with visible cookie fragments.
- Let the frosting rest for 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to meld and achieve optimal spreading consistency.
- Transfer to a piping bag or use as a spreadable topping for cakes, cupcakes, or other dessert creations, storing any excess in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Softened butter is key to achieving a creamy, smooth frosting texture that spreads easily.
- Sift powdered sugar to prevent lumps and ensure a silky-smooth consistency in the final frosting.
- Crush cookies into fine crumbs for even distribution and a more balanced flavor throughout the frosting.
- Adjust cookie quantity to personal taste, adding more or less depending on desired cookie intensity.
