This festive and colorful Easter Kool Aid Pie is a no-bake, layered dessert that combines a graham cracker crust with vibrant layers of whipped cream, sweetened condensed milk, and flavored Kool-Aid. Perfect for spring gatherings, its bright colors and tangy flavors make it a delightful and easy-to-make treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 ⅔ Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs (about 18 graham cracker sheets, crushed)
  • 1 Stick Unsalted Butter (½ cup)

Filling

  • 16 Ounces Whipped Cream
  • 2 Cans Sweetened Condensed Milk (14 ounces each)
  • 1 Packet Blue Kool-Aid (blue raspberry lemonade flavor)
  • 1 Packet Yellow Kool-Aid (lemonade flavor)
  • 1 Packet Pink Kool-Aid (pink lemonade flavor)
  • 1 Packet Purple Kool-Aid (grape flavor)
  • Yellow Food Dye (optional, a few drops to brighten yellow layer)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Butter: Place the unsalted butter in a small microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for about one minute until melted.
  2. Make the Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Form the Crust: Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a springform pan, reaching just under the rim. Place the pan in the freezer to chill until ready to assemble the pie.
  4. Mix First Filling Layer: In a medium bowl, mix 4 ounces of whipped cream with approximately 7 ounces (half a can) of sweetened condensed milk. Stir well to combine.
  5. Add Kool-Aid Flavor: Add the pink Kool-Aid powder to the mixture and stir until completely blended with no color streaks.
  6. Layer the Pink Filling: Remove the crust from the freezer and spoon the pink mixture over the base. Smooth out evenly and return the pie to the freezer.
  7. Repeat for Remaining Colors: Repeat mixing and layering steps for purple, yellow, and blue Kool-Aid in that order. For the yellow layer, optionally add a couple of drops of yellow food dye to intensify the color. Each time, mix 4 oz whipped cream with half a can of sweetened condensed milk and the corresponding Kool-Aid powder, then layer and smooth in the springform pan, placing the pie back in the freezer after each layer.
  8. Chill to Set: After all four layers have been added, place the pie in the freezer or refrigerator for about 3 hours or until it is fully firm.
  9. Serve: Optionally top with extra whipped cream before serving. Slice, enjoy, and celebrate the vibrant flavors of this Easter-themed no-bake pie!

Notes

  • Use a springform pan for easy removal of the pie once set.
  • If yellow Kool-Aid color is not vibrant enough, a few drops of yellow food dye will enhance it.
  • Ensure each layer is smooth and even for a pretty, distinct color separation.
  • The pie is best served chilled but should be allowed to sit for a few minutes before slicing for easier cutting.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
