Small-batch Oreo Frosting
Description
The Small-batch Oreo Frosting recipe uses one Oreo cookie broken into fine crumbs folded into a mixture of softened butter and cream cheese, which creates a smooth, creamy base. Powdered sugar sweetens the frosting while a pinch of salt balances the sweetness. A teaspoon of milk or cream is added to adjust the consistency, making it fluffy but spreadable. The texture comes from the cookie crumbs, which add a subtle crunch contrasting with the creamy frosting.
This frosting is ideal for decorating cupcakes, cookies, or other desserts in small quantities where a large batch is unnecessary. The method involves creaming butter and cream cheese until smooth, then incorporating sugar and crumbs carefully to avoid overmixing. You can pipe this frosting with a large star tip or spread it with a knife, depending on the desired presentation.
The recipe notes suggest using unsalted butter and adjusting salt accordingly, and it yields about three-quarters to one cup of frosting. This quantity covers roughly four to five cupcakes with large swirls or can be spread thinly on about eight cupcakes or cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 Oreo
- 2 tablespoons butter softened, unsalted, 1 oz
- 1 ounce cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar 120g
- salt pinch
- 1 teaspoon milk up to 1 tablespoon; or cream
Instructions
- Separate Oreo and discard (or eat) filling. Place cookie halves in a small plastic bag and crush into a fine crumb with a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy glass. Set crumbs aside.
- In a medium bowl combine softened butter and cream cheese. Beat until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar, cookie crumbs, salt, and 1 teaspoon of milk or cream. Beat until sugar is completely incorporated and frosting is fluffy. Add up to 2 teaspoons more of milk or cream if necessary until frosting reaches your desired consistency.
- Frost something delicious and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a large open star piping tip if you want decorative swirls on cupcakes.
- Omit the added salt if you use salted butter to avoid over-salting.
- This recipe makes roughly three-quarters to one cup of frosting, enough for about 4-5 generously frosted cupcakes or 8 cupcakes/cookies when spread thinly.
