Tips for making the frosting
Here are my tips, so yours turns out like this recipe!
- Tip 1: Make sure your butter and cream cheese is at the same room temperature. If you notice the cream cheese is slightly colder, it can cause the frosting to split.
- Tip 2: Beat the butter first for 2 minutes and then the cream cheese for 1 minute. You want to make sure the frosting is nice and fluffy. Don’t add them both in at the same time. It will be a denser frosting. Also make sure to scrape the bowl so any butter or cream cheese chunks gets mixed in.
- Tip 3: You can keep the Oreos whole when you blend them.
FAQ’s
Unfortunately no, you can’t save it. Once a frosting is split, you have to start over.
The two main reasons your frosting will split is one, your cream cheese isn’t room temperature. When the butter and cream cheese are different temperatures, the cream cheese won’t blend correctly. Every time this happens to me, it splits. I will put the cream cheese on a plate and heat in the microwave for 10 seconds to help!
The second is the cream cheese get over mixed. This is why the butter is whipped for 2 minutes before cream cheese is added. It releases water the more it is mixed, causing a split frosting. You will know it is split even before adding the powdered sugar. It will look wet and grainy.
Yes you can! This recipe is for 12 cupcakes or a 9X9 inch cake. Double the recipe to frost a 9X13 cake or a layered cake.
