Instructions
- Beat the Butter: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with a mixer for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed until fully combined. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Add Vanilla and Cream: Mix in vanilla extract and heavy cream, beating until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Fold in Crushed Oreos: Gently fold in the crushed Oreos with a spatula, being careful not to overmix to maintain texture.

Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute unsalted butter with a dairy-free alternative and use non-dairy milk instead of heavy cream.
The frosting can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.
Allow the frosting to come to room temperature before using for the best texture.
