In a large mixing bowl, combine the packet of Dream Whip powdered topping mix, cold milk, and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed, whip the mixture for approximately 4-6 minutes until it becomes thick and fluffy.
Add the powdered sugar to the whipped mixture, a little at a time, while beating on low speed until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the softened butter to the mixture, one tablespoon at a time, and beat at medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Once all ingredients are fully combined, increase the mixer speed to high and whip for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure a light, fluffy texture.
Taste the frosting and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a bit more powdered sugar, a tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Use the frosting immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or desserts, or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
