3 oz package fruit-flavored gelatin
3/4 cup sugar or honey
1 cup boiling water
2 cups milk
1 envelope Dream Whip

Dissolve gelatin, sugar or honey and salt in boiling water.  Blend in milk (mixture may look curdled but will become smooth.)

Pour into freezer tray.  Freeze 45 minutes or until mixture is froze one-half inch around edges of tray.
Meanwhile, prepare topping.

Beat gelatin mixture until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.  Fold in topping and pour into freezer trays or bowl and freeze 30 minutes.  Empty mixture into a chilled mixing bowl and beat until smooth, but not melted.  Can leave mixture in bowl or put back into freezer trays.  Freeze until firm, at least 3-4 hours.

I prefer my freezer.  It seems to make it smoother.
