- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 2 tbsp Oreo crumbs
- 8 Oreo Cookies smashed into small pieces
- 1 1/2 cups Icing sugar
- 2 tbsp milk 2%
- 4 tsp vanilla extract
Begin by creaming the butter until it is fluffy, just a few minutes by a stand mixer. Add your vanilla extract and cream together.
Add the milk and mix together. It should be a but liquidy and not fully come together yet.
Add Oreo crumbs.
Put Oreos into a ziploc bag. Place the bad on a wooden cutting board and then put the cutting board on a strong surface. You could put it on your kitchen counter or on your dining room table. Smash the cookies using a kitchen mallet or crush them up with the opposite end of a wooden spoon until they are all broken up into smaller pieces. Remove the Oreos from the bag and put them in your stand mixer bowl. Mix together with butter mixture.
Start adding the icing sugar 1/2 cup at a time and beat it until it’s fully combined and a nice consistency. If you need the icing a bit more stiff add a bit more icing sugar. If you need the icing more runny, add a splash of milk.
Your icing is ready. For any leftovers, store in the fridge for 5-7 days. For anything longer, store in the freezer for up to one month.
