Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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
- 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 has fully dissolved and the mixture has an even, vibrant 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 into the 9-inch graham cracker pie crust. Use a spatula to spread and level the mixture evenly across the crust to ensure a uniform set.
- Cover and Refrigerate: Lightly cover the pie with plastic wrap to protect it from absorbing odors and to keep it fresh. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the filling is fully set and firm to the touch.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the pie with dollops of whipped cream or additional whipped topping and arrange fresh strawberries on top for a decorative and flavorful finish. Slice the pie and serve chilled for best taste.
Notes
- This pie is a no-bake dessert that relies on chilling to set, making it ideal for warm days or when you want to avoid turning on the oven.
- You can swap out the strawberry Kool Aid powder for any favorite flavor, such as strawberry lemonade or cherry, to customize the taste.
- Store the pie covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
- If you prefer, make your own graham cracker crust at home for a fresher base.
- For a less sweet version, consider using light sweetened condensed milk and sugar-free flavored syrup.
