Ingredients Needed

Marshmallow Fluff and Vegetable Shortening, when added to Vanilla Buttercream, gives the frosting the texture and flavor of the filling of an Oreo cookie.
Powdered Sugar: This kind of sugar is the main ingredient in all frostings! It is also known as confectioners’ sugar.
Heavy Whipping Cream: While most frosting recipes use milk, I love using heavy whipping cream because as you whip the frosting it makes it nice and fluffy. This is my secret ingredient!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Beat the butter, shortening and fluff together in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar slowly, then add salt and vanilla and start with 1 tablespoon heavy cream. Add more cream slowly to get the texture you want for either piping or spreading.
Stir in the chopped Oreos.

Expert Tips

When adding the heavy cream, add it slowly. I normally use 1-2 tablespoons, but not all brands of cream are created equal and you might want your frosting fluffier or not as fluffy as mine.
Want to use regular milk or nondairy milk? You’ll need less
If your frosting is too sweet, add a pinch to 1/4 teaspoon additional salt, to taste, and it will cut the sweetness.
I like a little chunkier of a chopped Oreo crumb in the frosting, but if you want a fine crumb to use in a piping bag, you’ll want to use a food processor.
