This is one of my family's favorite icings ever. It's no surprise, as it's filled with cruncy, delectable bits of Oreo cookie and whipped up in a not-too-sweet buttercream made fluffy with the addition of heavy whipping cream. It tastes just like Cookies & Cream ice cream!

2cups butterunsalted, softened (4 sticks)
4cupspowdered sugar
1/2cupheavy whipping cream
pinch salt
Instructions
Using a food processor, pulverize 25 Oreos. This will make 2 cups of cookie crumbs.
Using a heavy duty stand mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time and mix until fluffy. Add the pinch of salt and the 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream. Beat for 1/2 minutes for a smooth and fluffy icing.
Add the cookie crumbs to the buttercream. Mix just enough to incorporate. If the icing is too thick, add more cream.
Use to ice a cake, cupcakes, or as a filling for whoopie pies or other cookie sandwiches.
