Ri's Recommendations

- I use Double Stuf Oreos for this recipe, as I believe the extra filling adds some fluffiness to the buttercream
- If you want this buttercream to have a chocolatey base, you can add ¼ - ½ cup of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients (mixing that in along with the powdered sugar).

Ingredients

1¼ cups butter, softened
4 tbs. milk or heavy cream
1 tbs. vanilla extract
5 cups powdered sugar
2 sleeves of Oreos (20-24 cookies)

Preparation

Step 1

Use a food processor to grind the Oreos into fine dust. Place in a bowl and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whip butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar (using a large spoon or ¼ cup at a time), continuously scrapping the sides of the bowl. Add milk/heavy cream and vanilla, as liquid is needed, throughout the whipping process.

Step 3

Once buttercream base is combined and smooth, gradually add in the Oreo crumbles and continue to whip until thoroughly integrated.
