Cookies and cream… the most delicious combo of chocolaty goodness and creamy filling that makes a perfect addition to frosting!
This Oreo Frosting recipe will KNOCK your socks off!
Cookies and cream and frosting all whipped up together gives cupcakes or cake a PERFECT topping!
This frosting should be applied immediately to avoid everyone eating it out of the BOWL!!!
This is one of those irresistible flavor combos that will be everyone’s favorite.
This frosting is great on top of cupcakes, to make cookie sandwiches and you can also core a whole out of the center of cupcakes and use it as a filling, oh how I love filled cupcakes!
The biggest debate is how do YOU eat an Oreo,
do you bite right in,
pull the cookies apart then lick the filling or eat one-half than the other.
It’s fun to see how passionate people are about HOW they eat an Oreo,
me… I like them so many ways, and I end up putting them in many recipes because the flavor is so irresistible.
At the bottom of this post, I share with you some of my favorites!

If you love cupcakes as much as I do, these are my favorites and you can decorate with the oreo frosting using the same technique.
AND if you are a huge chocolate fan check out these... they are so fantastic!
- 1 cup butter (room temperature)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon heavy cream
- 15 Oreos (more for topping cupcakes)
- In a food processor place Oreos and pulse until they are chopped fine, you can crush them in a plastic bag with a rolling pin, but if you are going to pipe the frosting onto the cookies chunks of cookie won't work out well.
- In mixer beat butter until smooth, add in powdered sugar and heavy cream and begin on medium-low and mix until combined, then turn on high and whip until fluffy.
- Add in oreo crumbs.
- The filling of the Oreos makes this frosting extra creamy alternatively, you can purchase oreo crumbs in some stores and use those, but the filling adds to the flavor of these.
- Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes with a large star-shaped tip and top them off with an Oreo.
Click for my favorite chocolate cupcake recipe here. I used dutch cocoa in these and the rich chocolate flavor is great. If you want the cupcakes to have the really dark “Oreo” flavor look for “Black Onyx Cocoa, it’s wonderful. I’ve made cupcakes with it and everyone loved them.

Krista says
How much frosting does this make?
Diane says
It’ll cover 12 cupcake if you pipe it on like the photo and 24 cupcakes if you spread it on with a spatula and don’t pile it high. Double the recipe for 24 cupcakes if you plan on piping them
Bree says
Can i use regular sugar everytime i use powdered sugar it tastes to strong even if i use less than wut tha recipe calls foe
Diane says
This frosting recipe won’t work with regular granulated sugar, it won’t dissolve and will end up just being gritty. Take a look at this recipe for my Italian Buttercream Frosting, it’s silky smooth and made with granulated sugar, it takes a few more steps, but WOW is it worth it, it’s delicious, just add the chopped oreos to this recipes.
Sheri says
Do you use salted or unsalted butter?
Diane says
I typically use salted butter, as I don’t like my frosting overly sweet. Use the butter you prefer the taste of in desserts.
Fola says
Please is it possible to use margarine in place of the butter? Or it strictly has to be butter.
Diane says
for buttercream frosting to have a great flavor, I use butter. I have used 1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening. I have not made frosting with margarine, but think it should work fine. You could try it with all margarine or 1/2 margarine and 1/2 shortening if margarine is too soft in texture. I myself prefer that taste of butter in frosting 😉 hope it works out for you.
Jesica says
Can you leave this out overnight? Should I refrigerate? Very sweet, but the kidos wont care tomorrow.
Diane says
yes, you can leave these on the counter for 2 days, then I would refrigerate if there are any left.
