Hi Dixie,
It seems to me that back in the '70s, I used to use Dream Whip for
some popular recipe of the day, and I remember combining the powder
with cold milk and then whipping with a mixer.
I suppose the homemade whipped topping is healthier than something
that doesn't contain any natural ingredients, such as Cool Whip, but
whipped cream is so delicious and easy to make - I would never choose
to go to all of that trouble to come up with a whipped topping that
contains gelatin!
You can also whip evaporated milk. It has to be very cold, so you
have to store it in the fridge for a while before whipping it with a
whisk or electric mixer.

Ran,
My mother in law used to use a product called Dream Whip. It was in a
package by the powdered pudding mixes. I don't think it called for milk.
Also, I found this recipe, maybe this would work for you?

Whipped Topping

.1 packet unflavored gelatin
.1 tablespoon water
.1/3 cup boiling water
.1 cup tap water
.1 cup instant non-fat dry milk powder
.1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
.1 teaspoon vanilla
.2 to 3 teaspoons lemon juice
First take the cup of tap water and pour it into a large deep bowl. Put this
bowl of water into the freezer while you do everything else. I use a metal
bowl because the water chills faster. Next place the unflavored gelatin into
a small cereal bowl. Add one tablespoon of water and let is soften up. Add
the boiling water to the gelatin mixture. Stir it with a fork for several
minutes, to dissolve the gelatin completely. Let it sit and cool down some.
Meanwhile measure the oil, vanilla and lemon juice all into a small
container. Set it aside. Also measure the sugar and set aside.
When the water in the freezer has ice crystals forming on it, take it out
and place it on the counter. Pour in a full cup of dry milk powder. Using
electric beaters (you have to have electric beaters to make this recipe),
whip the mixture at high speed until it forms stiff peaks. This will take a
full five minutes.
Continue beating, and gradually add the sugar. When it is fully
incorporated, gradually add the cooled gelatin mixture. When this is fully
incorporated, gradually add the oil, vanilla, lemon juice mixture, in a
small stream. The texture of the topping will change a little bit, becoming
bright white and creamier. This is normal.
