Ingredients
Scale
Pie 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
- 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 is completely dissolved and the mixture has an even color. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the filling is creamy and smooth.
- Fill the Crust: Pour the Kool Aid filling into the 9-inch graham cracker pie crust. Spread the mixture evenly with a spatula to cover the crust fully.
- Cover and Refrigerate: Lightly cover the pie with plastic wrap to protect it and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is fully set and firm.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the pie with additional whipped cream or whipped topping and fresh strawberries if desired. Slice and serve chilled for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- If you prefer a different flavor, substitute the Kool Aid powder with your favorite Kool Aid or similar powdered drink mix.
- Using strawberry syrup gives a slightly different tang and sweetness compared to strawberry jelly—choose according to your preference.
- Make sure the whipped topping is completely thawed for easy folding and smooth texture.
- For a homemade crust, press crushed graham crackers mixed with melted butter into a pie dish and chill before filling.
- This no-bake pie must be refrigerated for several hours to set properly; do not freeze.
