This recipe is incredibly simple to put together and some of the most amazing flavors we’ve tried are Lemonade Pie (a favorite among our friends), Cherry Pie, and Peach Mango Pie!

Lemonade Kool-Aid Pie is a no-bake dessert made with a combination of Kool-Aid powder, sweetened condensed milk, and whipped topping, all poured into a graham cracker crust. The mixture is then chilled until set and can be served as a sweet and tangy pie that comes in a variety of flavors.

This is the Lemonade pie, we didn’t add any coloring to it, but if you wanted a brighter yellow, you could add a couple of drops of yellow food coloring.

I’d never really thought about Kool-Aid prior to this; in fact, I had a packet of Kool-Aid sitting in my pantry just in case someone happened to stop by with their kids in tow, and I needed to create a quick beverage.

The idea of creating a delicious pie using just 3 ingredients (not including the crust!) seemed too good to be true. But oh my, Was I ever wrong! It’s actually quite delicious, the texture is smooth and creamy, not too sweet, and with just the right amount of flavor.

    Made this with lemon-lime Kool-Aid and crushed some pretzels and sliced strawberries on top for a salty-sweet twist. HUGE hit with the kids! Definitely keeping this one in the summer dessert rotation.

    This Kool-Aid Pie recipe is such a fun and simple idea, especially for kids or last-minute desserts! 🎉 I love that it’s so versatile—you can easily switch up the flavor just by choosing a different Kool-Aid packet. 🍓🍋 I’m thinking of trying it with the blue raspberry flavor next time.

    For those who’ve made this before, does it set up well if you use a store-brand whipped topping, or is Cool Whip the way to go? I’m also curious if anyone has tried adding a fruit topping to match the flavor—it seems like it could be a colorful and tasty touch! 🍒

    Tried this with orange Kool-Aid and added a touch of vanilla extract. Tasted like a creamsicle in pie form. So easy and surprisingly addictive.

    Does anyone know if this sets up firm enough to slice cleanly after a few hours in the fridge? Or should I plan to freeze it a bit before serving?
