Pat Duran a friend from JAP shared a wonderful recipe with me that I just have to pass on

Homemade Cool whip

- 1 tsp knox unflavored gelatin - 2 tsp cold water - 3 Tbsp boiling water - 1/2 c ice water

- 1/2 c powdered nonfat dry milk - 3 to 4 Tbsp granulated sugar - 1 tsp clear vanilla

Directions

1. Chill a small metal mixing bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes. In a small bowl soften the gelatin in the ice water. Add boiling water to this mixture and mix until dissolved. Set aside to cool.
2. Remove the frozen metal bowl from the freezer. Combine the powdered milk and ice water in the metal bowl. Beat on high until stiff peaks form. Add the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, until as sweet as you want it to be.Then add the gelatin mixture.And beat well until mixture is as thick as you want it.
3. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes,then place in the refrigerator until ready to use. Whip with a wire whisk just until creamy before using. Enjoy!
