Ingredients You’ll Need
Oreo Cookies. These are the headliners for our frosting. Not only are they bringing that iconic crunch to the table, but they’re also jazzing up our frosting with that classic chocolatey goodness.
Unsalted Butter. Think of this as the bedrock of our creamy dream. It’s all about that rich, velvety vibe, making sure our frosting’s got the moves.
Powdered Sugar. This sweet fella? It’s blending in with the butter like they’re old dance partners, ensuring our frosting is both sweet and silky smooth.
Pure Vanilla Extract. A dash of this, and suddenly, those Oreos are singing even louder. It’s like a warm embrace for your taste buds.
Heavy Cream. This is the secret behind our frosting’s light feet. Making it airy, fluffy, and ready to dance (or spread) on any dessert stage.
Salt. A tiny sprinkle, and bam! It’s like turning up the volume on our chocolate tunes, balancing everything out and making those flavors shine.
