Start with one box (11 oz) of vanilla wafers and crush them super fine, which should yield about 3 cups.

Use a mini food processor to pulse the wafers for about 15 to 18 seconds until finely crushed.

Zest the orange using a zester, avoiding the white part, to collect the flavorful orange zest.

Reserve half of the zest for later and add the other half to the crushed vanilla wafers.

Mix the zest into the crushed wafers by hand to ensure even distribution.

Add 1 cup of powdered sugar to the mixture and blend it together.

Juice the zested orange, aiming for between 1/3 to 1/2 cup of juice, starting with 1/3 cup and adjusting as needed.

Add 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of softened butter to the mixture.

Use your hands (or gloves) to blend the butter into the mixture until well combined.
