Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 packet Kool-Aid (cherry flavor recommended)
- 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed (such as Cool Whip)
- 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust
Optional Garnish
- Whipped cream
- Maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and the packet of Kool-Aid until the powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is evenly combined, creating a bright, flavorful base.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the Kool-Aid mixture, being careful not to deflate it, to maintain a light and fluffy texture throughout the filling.
- Fill the Crust: Pour the combined filling into the 9-inch graham cracker crust, spreading evenly to cover the entire crust surface.
- Chill or Freeze: Cover the pie with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours to set firmly, or refrigerate for at least 4 hours if a softer texture is preferred.
- Serve: Once set, serve the pie chilled or frozen. Optionally, top slices with whipped cream and maraschino cherries for an extra special presentation and added sweetness.
Notes
- Using cherry-flavored Kool-Aid is recommended for best color and taste, but any flavor can be used to customize the pie.
- For a firmer pie, freezing is preferable; for a creamier slice, refrigerate longer.
- Ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed for easier folding and better texture.
- This pie is best served within 2 days for optimal freshness and flavor.
- Graham cracker crusts are usually pre-made, but you can make your own crust from crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar if desired.
