Cookies and Cream Frosting

If you don't have any reason to make cake....FIND ONE. This frosting is SO good, that you will want to make it right now to try it. We were having a farewell party for one of our nursing staff and I came across a recipe for oreo cupcakes . When I heard this nurse liked chocolate cake, I knew this would be the perfect time to try it! Now, it is in the middle of the work week, so I had to used a box cake mix. I used Duncan Hines dark chocolate....YUM!!! I am stocking up next time it is on sale. It is SO moist. I got so many compliments...wish I could say it was my own cake recipe.

Cookies and Cream Frosting

2 cups whipping cream
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 package of chocolate sandwhich cookies (approx 12 cookies) crushed

1. In a large bowl, pour whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip with mixer fitted with whisk attachment on medium high until the mixture holds stiff peaks. Viola- you have made homemade whipped cream. Now to make it cookies and cream flavored...
2. Fold crushed cookies into whipped cream. Carefully fold in the cookies so as not to mash the air out of the cream (or you will end up with milk again).
3. Apply to top of your favorite cake recipe. Enjoy!

Yummy Frosting

One of my co-workers is going on a prolonged "vacation" and Friday was his last day. I have boxes and boxes of brownie mix (I love brownies and buy them whenever they are BOGO), so I decided I would brownies. Now we have a lady who works with us and she likes to cut herself a piece and then lick the knife and then cut another piece, or she will lick her fingers which are covered in whatever and then touch the food...so I decided I will make them into cupcakes. They were so dense and so chocolatey..I loved them. Of course you can not have a "cupcake" without some type of frosting. I am not a big fan of frosting, but I found a recipe on the back of my box of cocoa and decided to try it out. It was DELICIOUS! So here it is...
