Notes

Make sure to chop the Oreo's really small or pulse them lightly in a food processor if you plan on piping the frosting. If the Oreo chunks are too big they will get stuck in the piping tip. 

STORAGE AND FREEZING

Storing: Transfer the Oreo frosting to an airtight container, and set a layer of plastic wrap on top of the icing before placing the lid on the container. If kept at room temperature, it will last for about three days. It can also be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks. Let it come to room temperature before spreading.
Freezing: To freeze this buttercream, transfer it to a freezer-safe airtight container or freezer-safe bag, and freeze for up to 3 months. Before using, thaw the frosting in the fridge overnight, then add it back to the bowl of your stand mixer and mix until its fluffiness is restored.
