In a mixing bowl, dissolve the orange-flavored gelatin mix in the boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved (about 2 minutes).
Add the cold water to the dissolved gelatin and stir well.
While the gelatin mixture is still warm, add the vanilla ice cream by the spoonful, stirring constantly until the ice cream is fully melted and blended into the mixture.
Let the mixture cool slightly at room temperature, then gently fold in the thawed frozen whipped topping until well incorporated. This will give the gelatin a light and creamy texture.
Pour the creamsicle gelatin mixture into a 9x9-inch pan, individual dessert cups, or a large serving bowl as desired.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
Once set, serve chilled. Garnish with additional whipped topping or a slice of orange, if desired.
