Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons strawberry syrup or strawberry jelly
- 1 packet (0.19 ounces) Kool Aid powder (strawberry, strawberry lemonade, or your favorite flavor)
- 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed
Crust
- 1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Garnishes (Optional)
- Whipped cream or additional whipped topping
- Fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, strawberry syrup or jelly, and Kool Aid powder. Whisk thoroughly until the Kool Aid powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is uniformly colored. Then gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the filling is creamy and smooth.
- Fill the Crust: Carefully pour the Kool Aid filling mixture into the prepared 9-inch graham cracker pie crust. Spread the filling evenly using a spatula to ensure a smooth surface.
- Cover and Refrigerate: Lightly cover the pie with plastic wrap to prevent drying or absorption of fridge odors. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, allowing it to set firmly before serving.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the pie with whipped cream or additional whipped topping and fresh strawberries for added flavor and presentation. Slice the pie and serve chilled.
Notes
- This pie requires no baking and relies on chilling to set.
- You can customize the flavor of the pie by using different Kool Aid flavors.
- The graham cracker crust can be store-bought or homemade depending on preference.
- For a more intense flavor, adjust the amount of Kool Aid powder but maintain balance to avoid overpowering sweetness.
- Make sure the whipped topping is fully thawed for best folding results.
