Creamy and delicious, this Homemade Kool-Aid Pie is the perfect easy icebox pie for any time. A wonderful no-bake dessert for when you just want something fast! This recipe requires only 3 ingredients (and a pie crust) and about 15 minutes before it’s ready to eat! Make it in any Kool-Aid flavor you want!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Kool-Aid and the sweetened condensed milk until the Kool-Aid is fully dissolved and there are no chunks or streaks.
Into the Kool-Aid mix, fold the Cool Whip or whipped topping of your choice. Be a bit gentle with your mixing here so that you don’t lose all the fluffiness in the whipped cream.
Grab your pie crust, scoop the filling into it, then even out the top as needed.
You can serve this pie right away, but the texture is best if you can chill it for at least 2 hours before serving. I have found that this pie is best to make the night before if possible.
Notes
Ingredients and Substitution Options
Sweetened Condensed Milk – While there are regular and dairy-free versions of sweetened condensed milk widely available, you can also use a plain can of coconut cream with 2 tablespoons of sugar as a replacement. You can also use heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of sugar instead!
Cool Whip – I LOVE Cool Whip, but if you don’t, you can also use a coconut whipped topping, or even your own homemade whipped cream instead. This is simply to give the pie that light and fluffy texture. Whatever you use, make sure it’s sweetened!
Kool-Aid – This is where the real fun comes in. You can choose any flavor of Kool-Aid you would like. I have really enjoyed this Black Cherry flavor, but also enjoy the simple lemonade as well. Perfect for summer.
Pie Crust – I really enjoy a classic graham cracker crust when I’m making an icebox pie. However, you can’t go wrong with a regular pastry pie crust either! I’ve made it both ways many times, so whatever you prefer (or have on hand) is going to be delicious!
