This OREO Cookies & Cream filling is perfect for cakes and cupcakes. Creamy and sweet with Oreo crumbs throughout - it's a delightful surprise to fill your desserts!
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:

Description
OREO Cookies & Cream filling perfect for cakes and cupcakes. Creamy and sweet with Oreo crumbs throughout.
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!

Catherine
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?
Rose
As long as it stays in a very cool room, it should be fine overnight!

Karen
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!!
Rose
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!
Kimberly
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.
Rose
Honestly it depends on how much you pipe into each cupcake but I think it filled around 2 dozen for me.
Kayla
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
Rose
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.
Gelic
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.

Rose
I don't see why not!?
Sofia
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.
Rose Atwater
This would be too much for 12 cupcakes. I'd probably cut it in half.
Ashley
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.
Rose Atwater
Around 3 cups.
Talia
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.
Susan at RoseBakes.com
Hi Talia, thanks for stopping by the blog. The cupcakes will be fine if they're out that long. Hope you enjoy them!
Lisa
Hello! I was wondering if I could use a hand mixer to mix the filling :)?
Rose
I'm sure you could!
Kim
How far in advance can I make the filling?
Rose
A few days - just keep it refrigerated.
Jackie B.
Can I freeze this filling?
Rose
Yes!
Susan O
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?
Rose
I've done that with no problems!

Tiffany
I was struggling to find an easy way to make a "mint chocolate chip" cake like my 5 year old daughter requested for the top tier of her birthday cake. I was about to say "forget it" as I had to do everything else for the party as well. I decided to do this Oreo filling/choc. cake for the 3 tier instead...however, when I went to buy the Oreo cookies, low and behold - mint cream Oreo's! Thank you for inadvertently saving my daughter's dream cake! I highly recommend playing with different Oreo flavors. Thanks so much!
Rose
Oh that's awesome Tiffany - thank you for sharing!! 🙂
Wendy Graham
I made this recipe for my son's 10th birthday party. I used a store bought chocolate fudge cake mix and made this filling to go between two layers. I have to admit, I loved this recipe so much I used a fairly thick layer of it between the cake layers! I had so many rave reviews of the cake! This filling (along with Rose's Crusting Buttercream recipe) were absolutely delicious! Thanks Rose for sharing your recipes! Couldn't have done this without you!

Rose
Awesome - thank you!
Catherine
I think I put too much heavy cream when I was mixing. My son came on the side of me and bumped. Opps. Well now it’s runny. Any tips on how to thicken it back up? I tried to add more powder sugar but that didn’t help.
Rose
Oh goodness - sometimes that's really hard to correct. You can add more sugar but it may get too sweet before the texture corrects. Sometimes I make a half batch and just mix it in to the batch that's too wet to try and balance it.
Lisa
Looking for Oreo filling recipe
Kara
Hello Rose,
Amateur baker here, so this might be a dumb question. I was wondering if you add any heavy cream during the mixing process, or is it only needed to thin out the filling after chilling? Or is it a preference thing?
Thanks for your time, and thanks for sharing this recipe.
Rose
I usually add a little when Is tart mixing, and then as needed at the end for thinning it out.
Autymn
How much filling does this make? I need to make a two layer 8inch cake and 38 cupcakes and I don’t know how much to make of this. The cake and cup cakes will be filled.
Amanda
Thank you for posting this recipe! This might be a silly question but in the food processor are we using only the outside cookie or can the Oreo cookie filling be used to get the flavor in?
Thank you!
Amanda
Rose
I use whole cookies!
Mike
Love this recipe!!! How long can I keep it refrigerated? Will it still be good a week later?
Rose
Yes, it should be good in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Jan Schnipke
How long can the cookies and cream filling stay crunchy inside cupcake? I have used pudding with Oreo crumbs but after a while the crumbs get soft.
Angela Rietschlin
This cookies and cream filling tasted great and was easy to pipe into the cake!

Helena
Hi there
Can I use cream cheese frosting (the ones you buy ready - Philadelphia cream cheese frosting ) instead of cream cheese? And if so would i need to take out the sugar from the recipe? Or alter it in any way? Thx
Rose
Hmmm, I've never used pre-made cream cheese frosting so I am not sure.
Katie
So amazing! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

Do you think I could use this filling in a Bundt cake? I would like to put have the cake batter in the pan then the cookie and cream filling then the rest of the cake batter, then bake the cake. Do you think this would work
Rose
I don't think that would be a good thing. I'm afraid it would melt and be a mess.
