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 completely dissolved and the mixture has a uniform color. Then gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the filling is creamy and smooth.
- Fill the Crust: Pour the prepared Kool Aid filling evenly into the 9-inch graham cracker pie crust. Use a spatula to spread the mixture smoothly across the crust surface.
- Cover and Refrigerate: Lightly cover the pie with plastic wrap to prevent it from absorbing odors in the fridge. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, allowing it to set completely.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the pie with dollops of whipped cream or additional whipped topping and fresh strawberries. Slice the pie and serve chilled for the best refreshing experience.
Notes
- This pie must be refrigerated for at least 4 hours to set properly; overnight chilling is ideal for best texture.
- Choose any Kool Aid flavor to customize the pie according to taste.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free graham cracker crust.
- Use fresh strawberries at room temperature for the best flavor when garnishing.
- Keep the pie covered in the refrigerator to avoid it picking up other food odors.
