2 env. Knox unflavored gelatin
1/2 c. cold water
1 c. boiling water
2 c. (1 pt.) sherbet, any flavor
1 c. ( 9 oz.) frozen whipped topping, thawed

In a large bowl, sprinkle gelatin over the cold water; let it stand 1 minute. Add the boiling water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. With a wire whip or rotary beater, blend in sherbet until it is melted; blend in whipped topping.

Spoon into dessert dishes; chill until mixture is firm. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, chopped nuts, a cherry, etc. The sky's the limit.
