How to Prepare the Raspberries

Steps 1-2: Our Raspberry Oreo Frosting starts with fresh raspberries and our The Best Raspberry Buttercream Frosting.  Puree the raspberries, you will need 1/2 cup of puréed Raspberries.  For detailed instructions, you can check out the full recipe here.

How to Make the Frosting

Steps 1-2: Add the butter and the Raspberry Puree to the mixing bowl and mix until they are completely combined.
Step 3: Add the Powdered Sugar to the bowl.  Start your mixer (or electric beater) on the lowest setting.  Keep the mixer on low until the butter and sugar are incorporated and then kick your mixer up to medium-high.
Step 4: ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS taste your frosting.   You are trying to determine if the consistency is wrong, if it needs a little bit of water or more powdered sugar.  (A note about the raspberry taste, it will definitely get stronger over time as the fruit melds with the butter and sugar.)

Step 7: For the Oreos, after a lot of taste testing, we have found that the frosting tastes best if you remove the Oreo filling before you crush up the cookies.  You also need to crush your Oreo cookies on the coarse side.  You need the cookie crumbs to be small enough so you can use a decorating tip to frost your cupcakes but big enough that they are not just cookies crumbs. Sift out the cookie dust (it doesn’t look good in the frosting) and add 1/2 cup of the Oreo crumbs to the raspberry frosting. 
Step 8: Two Sisters Tip:  This is not a “make-ahead” frosting.  You need to frost your baked goods within a few hours of making this frosting. If you refrigerate the frosting and take it out to frost the next day, when you stir it up the cookie crumbs will blend into the frosting and turn the frosting into a pink-ish/grey color.  However, it is fine to frost your cupcakes and then refrigerate the frosted cupcakes. It is the stirring after refrigerating that causes the problems.

Step 9: How much frosting will you need?  That always depends on how thick or thin you apply the frosting or how much decorating you do but here are a couple of guidelines. Our recipe should make enough Raspberry Oreo Buttercream Frosting to cover a 9″ x 13″ sheet cake or a two-layer 8″ cake.  If you are making cupcakes, you should be able to frost 24 cupcakes if you apply the frosting with a knife.  If you swirl on the frosting with a pastry bag you should be able to frost 15-18 cupcakes depending on the size of the swirl.
