Kool-Aid Pie Ingredients
- Kool-Aid: Pick absolutely any flavor you are feelin! Keep in mind, right flavors will show up better once you create the filling.
- Whipped Cream : Or whipped topping to cut down on the work.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: Our sweetener and binder.
- Graham Cracker Pie Crust: Make it or buy it.
How to Make Kool Aid Pie
Step 1: Using store-bought is totally fine here, and it will save you a bit of time. If you want to go scratch, start by adding the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar and melted butter to a bowl and mixing it up until the crumbs are well coated. Toss the crumbs into a pie plate and press down around it.
Step 2: Bake your pie at 350 F degrees for about 10 minutes then let cool to room temperature.
PRO TIP: After you bake your pie crust, make sure the crust is completely cooled before adding in your filling. If it is still warm at all, the whipped cream mixture will melt, and the pie won’t set up properly.
Step 3: To make the filling, stir the Kool-Aid mix and condensed milk together with a whisk then carefully fold the whipped cream into the mixture keeping it light.
Step 4: Pour your pie filling into your graham cracker crust and place your pie in the fridge to set for at least 4 hours. Allowing your pie to set for at least this long guarantees that each slice will come out clean and not soupy. Dress it up with whipped cream and enjoy! You earned it.

PRO TIP: Don’t overmix the pie filling. Whipped cream needs to stay light and fluffy so folding gently is the best bet. If you overmix, the pie will lose its airiness.

Notes
- Fridge: Cover any leftovers with plastic wrap or foil and pop in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Freezer: If you think you will have leftovers for freezing, remove the toppings before adding to the freezer. Wrap it in plastic wrap and freeze for 2-3 months.

Recipe Tips
- Mixing: Gently folding is the way boos. If you overmix, you can deflate the entire filling removing that airy light texture we love.
- Adjust: Give it a taste after you mix your filling. If it ain’t sweet enough, add a bit more condensed milk. If you want a stronger flavor, more Kool-Aid powder is the answer.
- Just Chill: Don’t remove this pie from the fridge too early. It needs time to set up. I recommend making the night before you want to serve. You can also pop in the freezer for a couple of hours to firm it up a bit more.
Recipe Help
It’s more than likely because you didn’t let the pie set up long enough. At the very very least, it should chill for 4 hours but it definitely helps if you chill it longer. You can even freeze it for a sturdier consistency. It will taste more like ice cream.
Yep you sure can. In fact, it will taste better if it sets overnight.
Absolutely not. Store-bought pie crust and whipped topping work super well in this Kool-Aid pie recipe.

Wow so easy to make, i us watermelon Flavor. I thought About next time coloring some green for the edges and adding red color too change from pink to red.
Ive been following your recipes for about 5 years now, my all time favorite recipe is the cheesy garlic bread sticks. Those are amazing. I also use that same dough recipe for pizza. Thank for sharing your recipes.
Thank you for making my recipes and sharing your opinion with me Don!
Thank you for the delish recipes!!
You’re so welcome Patty!
This pie was a FAIL. Recipe stated to use 1 Cup of whipped cream topping (cool-whip) and I prepared it as instructed. All my guests asked what went wrong!? There’s barely three quarters of an inch of pie filling, and my partner asked why I didn’t use the whole container of cool whip. I started to wonder the same thing! One cup!? It should be 1 – 8oz container! The filling was so strong tasting I had to put a layer of whipped topping on every piece to make it palatable. This recipe needs a correction!
Hi Annie, I am so sorry to hear that you had issues with this recipe. One 8oz container is 1 cup of Cool Whip, as there are 8oz in a cup and whipped cream does measure a little different due to the air.
The best pie ever
Thank you so much!
I thought we were supposed to use the unsweetened packets of kool-aid. The sweetened condensed milk and cool whip should have enough sugar to sweeten the pie.
So cool. Thanks
thank you, another new pie for me, like the layer and no bake! thank you
I want to try this with orange and wondered if I could add can of madrien oranges to the mixture instead of putting them on top, and I want to try strawberry as well
I would honestly put on the top.
Yes I tried it with orange flavor and it taste like a dreamsicle popsicle. I took me back to my childhood.
I used this recipe for my best friend’s birthday pie this year and wanted to let you know that it turned out to be EXACTLY what she wanted in her dream pie. According to her, this pie is the stuff of legend. It turned out beautifully and it was so easy to make! Thank you a million times over for coming up with this! I used your graham cracker crust recipe too and that was the easiest, best smelling pie crust I’ve ever made. I’ll be using both of these recipes again!
I have not shopped for koolaid in ages. I am not sure if I should buy the old kind without sugar or pre sweetened. Cannot wait to try!
Use the one with sugar.
