Easy Kool-Aid Pies - Simple Recipe for Kids, too!

[@dixiemujer5574]

The original Kool-Aid pie recipe came out in a Readers Digest in the 1950's way before cool whip and pre- made graham cracker crust. I used to make it as a child. To make it I poured 1 can of evaporated milk into a metal ice tray and put it in the freezer till 1/2 inch was frozen around the edges. I also put the beaters and the mixing bowl in the freezer. In the mean- time I crushed graham crackers and made a crust. Once the milk was ready, I took everything out of the freezer and proceeded to beat the milk. It thickens up just like whipping cream. At the soft peak stage, I gradually added 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the pack of kool- aid of choice, which at that time they had more variety than today, and I used apricot flavor. I continued to beat this till stiff peaks formed and everything was well incorporated. I put the filling in the pie shell and back in the freezer. In a few hours it was set and absolutely delicious and refreshing. My grandfather loved for me to make it.

[@cindymartel5603]

Thank you. I don’t eat sweetened milk nor Cool Whip. Now I will make your version 💕

[@bonnielucas3244]

Sounds so nice!!! I was born in late 1958

[@glorialautzenhiser5140]

Never heard of apricot flavored kool-Aid

[@glorialautzenhiser5140]

This way is to much work

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

Life was like that then. May sound like a lot of work. But life was never that hard.

[@beverlylynn7097]

I just made 2 pies the other day. I made lemon and the other I made cherry. On the cherry to serve I drizzled chocolate syrup on it. It made it like chocolate covered cherry.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

I’m a firm believer that chocolate helps almost everything!😀

[@TreasureDeal]

Lol, me too 😅

[@jillchamberlain7946]

I had forgotten all about those pies! My mother used to make them often. She would use the whipped topping in the can to decorate the top edge of the pie to make it more "fancy." 😊

Thank you so much for watching. We really do appreciate your kind words as well.

I've heard of this pie, but never made one. The watermelon pie sounds so good! It's one of my favorite summer flavors! Thank you Tom, for sharing these delightful recipes. I really appreciate them, and you!

[@martom111]

Your channel has become one of our very favorite. In the morning with our coffee we look at KZbin recipes. Tom is always one we look for. I had not heard of Koolaid pie until a couple months ago. She made hers like you did, but at the end she said there is a lower sugar version, my husband is diabetic so we tried it and it was really good, thought some of your viewers would like it. One 8oz package cream cheese softened, 1 cup Splenda and a pkg of koolaid (or 2). I mix with hand mixer because it is easier, then mix in the Cool Whip with a spoon and put in a pie shell and put in fridge for couple hours

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

Excellent 👌 Thank you. After stopping eating sugar and losing 20 pounds I am no longer dependent on medication. But, I'm on the free borderline. Recipes like yours are priceless. 😊

[@lindaoneill6323]

I have a 7 yr. old niece. She spends weekends with me & we go to church. She will love making this. I can't wait. We'll make Kool aid pie this weekend.

[@lizsmith7816]

Yum! We love Koolaid Pie. We got on a kick last summer and must have made a dozen of them. I definitely want to try making a watermelon flavored one. Last summer, I wanted to try a lime flavored pie, but don’t care for the Koolaid flavor of lime. I had a box of True-Lime, which I think is just freeze dried lime juice. I used about 17 packets to get the flavor I wanted. It’s probably the best lime pie I’ve ever had! The sweetness of the Eagle Brand mixed with the tartness of the TrueLime is pure perfection! 😋 And funny thing-we discovered that we like the Great Value brand pie crusts even more than the Keebler. They stay more crispy on the bottom.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Good to know! Thanks for sharing the tip. Hope your summer is going great.

[@valerieesque5499]

Try bottled lime juice or lemon juice.

[@lizsmith7816]

@@valerieesque5499 Juice has too much liquid. It won’t set up.

[@loismccutcheon5105]

I'm a scrapbooker, too! And the pie looks yummy.

[@Fancypants1016]

I made two versions of this pie. First, an orange one,and then,a lemonade one. Both are excellent! The orange tastes like orange creamsicle, which is one of my all time favorite flavors. The lemonade one was so refreshing. The thing I found most amazing is how silky and velvety the texture is. These have become my favorite kind of pie.

[@drphibesrises]

I love making these pies. Sometimes I add colored sprinkles on top. The kids love to do that. 👍

[@rubybriley6096]

My mom chilled a can of evaporated milk and mixed with sugar and kool-aid. I wish I new exactly how she made it. This looks delicious, going to try this. Thank you for sharing.

[@wintergreen1162]

I love scrapbooking, that’s what I do for my fun time! I have some pie shells, now I can make a koolaid pie.

[@paulaadams1765]

I make a yogurt pie in almost the same method but only three ingredients: a graham cracker crust, a 8-oz. tub of cool whip and 2 yogurts. I use the fruit yogurts mostly like peach, strawberries, etc. (I would think any yogurt would work.) Sometimes I’ll put fresh fruit on top: fresh peaches with the peach yogurt pie, etc. If 2 yogurts don’t satisfy your taste, add another same yogurt. Put pie in refrigerator at least 3-4 hours; I actually leave the pie overnight in the refrigerator. This pie is always a hit and has never disappointed through the years.

Alternate Method - I've always made these with the Jello mix and the Cool Whip only. 8oz. Cool Whip and one 3.4oz. box of jello mix and that's it! Just two ingredients. This will give you a real nice flavor and extra creamy texture. Thanks for the video!

[@togek1ss]

i love how simple yet informative your videos are :)

[@MrShooter72]

Made my first Kool-Aid pie today. I used an alternate version of the recipe where you add a tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. I can absolutely taste the salt addition and the lemon adds a subtle tart offset to the sweetness of the pie. I might try the basic version of the recipe at some point, but I am very happy with the slightly more complex version.

[@dennie1944]

Wonderful recipe! I heard you say getting the first piece of pie out can be tricky. My Nana said all you have to do is take another slice on each side. Works like a charm. Not sure why but I never had a messy first piece again. Hope it works for you too.

In the days before KoolWhip, my mother would use a can of super cold evaporated milk that she would whip until it was like whipped cream then add Kool-Aid or Jello. This brings back old memories from 70 years ago.
