Hi thank you for your recipe. I tried it and I was wondering if the gelatin is supposed to turn to jello because mine did and it didn't dissolve into the icing. Did I simmer it too long? -
Can you use pectin instead of gelatin or another vegan substitute?
-
Does it really taste like the filling in Oreo cookies ?

This was the closest I've found in both texture and taste to the actual commercial Oreo filling, rather than just a buttercream frosting variant. To test it, I halved the recipe for all ingredients (but kept the full 1 tsp vanilla). I used half butter and half shortening rather than all shortening to add some richness. I also added about 1/3 cup flour while I beat it in the mixer. Turned out perfectly, didn't have to beat it the full 10 minutes. The flour gave it a very slightly crumbly texture, so I could lightly roll it into little balls to squish between 2 cookies for optimal presentation. Excellent! Thank you to the recipe creator for the inspiration of the gelatine and to one of the commenters for the flour idea. -
Following the directions, it was too crumbly rather than creamy so I added more water. I added a bit too much so be careful if you do the same. Also, this makes a LOT. I’d recommend halving the recipe - maybe still using a full packet of gelatin so it sets up like real Oreo filling? At any rate, it tastes great! -
Sounds like it will be great! Just one question...when do you add the dissolved gelatin? I would love to make this, but would rather wait until there is a more complete set of directions. -
a package of regular Oreos has 45 cookies, so if you want to have an equal amount of cream that is in a package of Oreos, multiply the recipe by 4.5! Like -
Great recipe even it surely is not amount for 10 cookies, probably for about 30.

The Recipe is close to phenomenal what I did is I added two 1/8th cups of canola oil and five 1/2 cups of white flour to make the consistency of the Oreo cookie filling be/taste exactly like Nabisco's Oreo Cookie Filling. -
