Soooo, I’ve been asked again and again and again about posting my Oreo Cookies & Cream Filling Recipe and finally, I’ve gone and done it! Yay!
This recipe is so, so good! I love to use it to fill cakes and cupcakes, chocolate or vanilla! It’s not really meant to be used as a frosting because it’s super soft and also pretty chunky, but you can pipe it into a cupcake or put piles of it between layers of cake!
If you want to put together cupcakes like these, you can find my chocolate cake recipe here. Then when they’re cooled, fill with the Oreo Cookies & Cream Filling. You can see how I fill cupcakes with a thick filling here.
I frosted these with cream cheese buttercream frosting and then topped them with a Double Stuf Oreo! Cupcake Heaven!!
Maybe you don’t want a cupcake… how about a mouth-watering cake?
This Oreo Cookies & Cream Filling is the same filling that I used on that ooey-gooey Dark Chocolate Cake with Dark Chocolate Chips , Oreo Cream Filling & Rich Delicious Ganache Cake that I posted on Facebook awhile back!
To make that cake, bake 3 layers of chocolate cake (stir some dark chocolate chips into the batter at the end). When it’s cooled, pour ganache over the bottom cake, then pile on the Oreo Cookies & Cream Filling. Repeat twice more and enjoy!!
Anywho… here’s the recipe:
PrintOreo Cookies & Cream Filling Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature (takes about 2 hours to reach room temp)
- 4 oz. salted butter, at room temperature (1 stick)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 12 crushed Double Stuf Oreos (I do mine in a food processor), or any chocolate sandwich cookie will work!
- 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream, as needed
Instructions
- Cream together the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Mix in the powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in the crushed cookies.
- Use immediately to fill cakes or cupcakes or refrigerate until ready to use. If you refrigerate it, it will thicken. Use 1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream to thin it again to a good consistency for filling!
- Notes
- Tip: Cakes and cupcake that are filled with Oreo Cookies & Cream filling should be refrigerated until time to serve!
So… are you a fan of Oreo’s? Will you be making this filling?

Gorgeous… I love the oreo cake
My two almost three year old daughter asked for a princess cake for her birthday. I loved yours on this site so i was going to duplicate it in a way. She wants a chocolate cake filled with Oreo. I want to put fondant on it because I like the look of it. I know fondant is not to be refrigerated so any suggestions on how i can make this cake ahead of time(day before) without having to refrigerate the fondant?
As long as it stays in a very cool room, it should be fine overnight!
I would really like to learn how to make a frosting identical to oreo filling. If anyone knows how please tell me the recipe
Hi. Can’t wait to make the Oreo Cookies & Cream Filling for the Youth Group at church. Please tell me what is ‘campaignlcon’ in the ingredients. Thank you. Keep posting these goodies!!
Hi Karen… I have no idea what that was about or where it came from! I just deleted it and you can proceed on with the recipe… 🙂 I hope you’ll love it!
How many cupcakes will the filling fill up? I need to know as soon as possible. It is for a upcoming event in a couple days.
Honestly it depends on how much you pipe into each cupcake but I think it filled around 2 dozen for me.
Hi rose, was wondering what I should do if I have three cakes that have cookies and cream filling. They all won’t fit in my refrigerator and I seen you put that it should be refrigerated
The cream cheese frostings/fillings absolutely need refrigeration, so I’d recommend making a vanilla buttercream without cream cheese and simply adding the crushed cookies to that.
Can this recipe be used for making filling for chocolates? I just got new molds and I wanted to try different fillings for the chocolates that I plan on giving my friends for Valentine’s day.

I don’t see why not!?
Hi rose, I just wanted to know what the yield of this is in terms of using it for a cupcake filling. I am making 12 cupcakes and want to if this recipe needs to be adjusted to get me that amount of filling.
This would be too much for 12 cupcakes. I’d probably cut it in half.
Hi, I was wondering how much does this recipe yeild? I’m making a very big cake and want to use it as my filling.
Around 3 cups.
Hello, since you say to refrigerate the cupcakes containing the Oreo creme filling until ready to serve, would it be ok if they’re out for about 3.5 hours before being served? I have to bring them somewhere and they won’t be served until that time after I get there and I have no access to a fridge.
Hi Talia, thanks for stopping by the blog. The cupcakes will be fine if they’re out that long. Hope you enjoy them!
Hello! I was wondering if I could use a hand mixer to mix the filling :)?
I’m sure you could!
How far in advance can I make the filling?
A few days – just keep it refrigerated.
Can I freeze this filling?
Yes!
I’d like to fill and freeze 2 layers of devil’s food cake. I know you said it would freeze well, but what do you think about freezing the cakes already filled?
I’ve done that with no problems!
