Ingredients

Filling

  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 packet Kool-Aid (cherry flavor recommended)
  • 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed (such as Cool Whip)

Crust

  • 1 graham cracker crust, 9 inches

Optional Garnish

  • Whipped cream
  • Maraschino cherries

Instructions

  1. Combine Sweetened Condensed Milk and Kool-Aid: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk with the packet of Kool-Aid thoroughly until fully combined and smooth, ensuring the Kool-Aid is evenly distributed for vibrant flavor and color.
  2. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the Kool-Aid mixture with a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped topping to maintain a light and airy texture in the filling.
  3. Assemble Pie: Pour the prepared filling evenly into the graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even layer.
  4. Chill or Freeze: Cover the pie with plastic wrap or foil and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours to set firmly, or refrigerate for at least 4 hours if you prefer a softer texture.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Serve the pie chilled or frozen. Optionally, top with whipped cream and maraschino cherries before serving for an attractive and delicious presentation.

Notes

  • You can experiment with different Kool-Aid flavors to change the pie’s taste and color.
  • Freezing the pie results in a firmer, more ice-cream-like texture, while refrigeration yields a softer, creamier pie.
  • Ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed before folding to achieve the best texture.
  • Use a pre-made graham cracker crust for convenience or make your own for a homemade touch.
  • This pie is best served within 2-3 days when refrigerated or frozen to maintain freshness.
