As a culinary expert with a passion for creating delicious treats, I'm often asked about the secrets behind popular confections. Making homemade Oreo cream filling, also known as creme filling, is a delightful project that can elevate your baking skills and bring a nostalgic taste to your desserts. Here's a step-by-step guide to making it:

Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Ensure your butter is at room temperature and softened. This is crucial for a smooth and creamy texture.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the vanilla extract and the pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
3. Gradually add the powdered sugar, starting with about a cup at a time. Mix well after each addition to avoid a sugary mess.
4. Once all the sugar is incorporated, continue to mix until the filling is smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, you can add a little milk or water to thin it out. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar.
5. Taste and adjust the flavor as needed. You can add more vanilla extract for a stronger vanilla flavor or a bit more sugar for added sweetness.
6. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Remember, the key to a great cream filling is in the quality of your ingredients and the patience you put into mixing it to the right consistency.
