Place the butternut snap cookies in a food processor and pulse until they are finely ground into a crumb-like texture. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Use an electric mixer to beat them until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar, malted milk powder, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Beat again on low speed, gradually increasing to medium, until fully incorporated and smooth.
Drizzle in the vanilla extract and milk. Beat the mixture on medium speed until the texture becomes light and fluffy. If the spread is too thick for your liking, add an additional teaspoon of milk at a time to reach your desired consistency.
Gently fold in the ground butternut snap cookie crumbs using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the spread to an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve as a dip with fresh fruit, use as a spread for crackers, or frost a cake or cupcakes with this delicious icing. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
