Ingredients
Scale
Pie 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
- Mix 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 is fully dissolved and the mixture is uniformly colored. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the filling is creamy and smooth.
- Fill the Crust: Pour the Kool Aid mixture into the prepared 9-inch graham cracker pie crust. Spread it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Chill the Pie: Cover the pie lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is completely set and firm.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, decorate the pie with whipped cream or additional whipped topping and fresh strawberries if desired. Slice and serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use your favorite Kool Aid flavor to customize the pie’s taste and color.
- Ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed before folding to maintain a smooth texture.
- The pie must chill for at least 4 hours to properly set; overnight chilling enhances firmness.
- For a homemade crust, use crushed graham crackers mixed with melted butter pressed into a pie dish.
- Optional garnishes like fresh strawberries add fresh flavor and visual appeal.
