Oreo Cookies and Cream Frosting
So Pillsbury challenged me to spend a “device free” evening with my family. Now, this really shouldn’t be as hard as it is. You learn very quickly how many times you actually look at your phone, when your phone isn’t available. In all honestly, my kids didn’t struggle at all…it was ME who had the hardest time!
The cake baked up perfectly and the frosting was simple! My kiddo loved getting involved in the frosting process…
How to Make The Best Oreo Buttercream Frosting
The frosting is an easy buttercream with crushed up chocolate sandwich cookies mixed right in…
Licking the spatula happens to be Max’s favorite part…
Once we got the cake frosted we decided to get a little fancy with a drippy chocolate ganache on top. Super rustic, but oh so elegant! You would never know an 11 year old made this cake!
And part of the evening was playing with this cute little instant camera…
If you don’t take a picture of the cake…did it ever exist?
And then of course we ate it!
Nothing better than conversation with your family and a slice of cake. When I get my kids involved in the kitchen it really sparks their creativity, which I love to see! Whether it’s coming up with recipes, or helping with the photography…it’s just so much fun to see.
Try it out…just one evening every so often, put your devices away and really enjoy each other…and a slice of cake!

Wow! This is a very yummy chocolate cake. Can i add a few Strawberry toppings?
Our cake and buttercream frosting came out wonderful, but had trouble with ganache, even though I thought it was cool enough, it started to melt the butter in the cookies and cream frosting and blobbed off the sides instead of your pretty streams off the side. For the chocolate I used chips, should it have been something else? When the ganache was cooling, it really thickened up. Put the whole thing in the fridge to firm up and will take to party as is. It’s still going to taste awesome if it’s not as pretty as yours. Thanks!
We had so much fun on our Pillsbury tech free baking day too! Love that you son is right there making the cake for you! That’s awesome! And that frosting…who needs a phone around when you can be scooping frosting into your mouth!!!
