Colorful, nostalgic, and no oven required—this kool aid pie is the perfect, playful summertime pie. And it gets even cooler…it only takes 5 minutes to prep and 4 simple ingredients to make.Â
Let the countdown to kool-aid pie begin.
Kool Aid Pie Recipe
This is one of my absolute favorite things to make with kids. It’s simple, quick, and you can make it with any and all flavors of kool-aid. It’s also great because it just needs some time to set—so you can go have an adventure—and then the creamy N0 bake kool-aid pie awaits!
It’s cheerful no matter your age—so don’t just save it for the kiddos. It’s bursting with bright fruit flavor and lots of sweetness. It’s at the top of my list of make-ahead desserts. Or anytime there’s a color scheme.Â
Room for another slice? Try million dollar pie, possum pie, chocolate cream pie, and good old-fashioned banana cream pie.Â
With a packet in the pantry, you can have pie whenever the gang stops by. That’s pretty cool.

I love this, I think I’ll try this with other Kool Aid Flavors!
Thank you, Jillian! That sounds exciting 🙂
Love these pies made cherry it was great next time using cream cheese
Thank you so much, Janice! 🙂
I wanted to make this pie! I had brought back Kool-aid from Mexico. Seems like their packs are about double ours! So I went and bought a Canadian pack..yup..much smaller. So I just doubled everything! Canadian Sweetened condensed milk is only about 10 ounces to US 14 ounces. Two. Cans of sweetened condensed milk. My 15g pack of I think Lime Kool-aid and a full 1 L of Cool whip. Apparently the small sizes are hard to find these days as well. I cheaped out on the Graham wafer crusts..they don’t seem to be as good as the Keebler ones. But I was testing..so don’t judge!
Anyway..the mix turned a beautiful lime green. It’s a bit thick..but to me tastes fine. Not overly sweet. I’m taking them to work tomorrow. I got 2 pies from one Mexican Kool-aid pack. I did buy some Canadian ones and can’t wait to try them! Thanks for this recipe! It’s a keeper for sure!
Hey Vickie! Thanks for sharing with us the different international sizes of Kool Aid!!! I spent a great deal of time for work in Mexico. It’s funny how many everyday products come in different sizes! so glad yo liked this pie! It’s a huge favorite here for my fam!🥰
This recipe is very easy to follow. I have a son who is recovering from Guillian-Barre Syndrome so I have to use quick recipes. This one will be in our refrigerator for Memorial Day. Thank you!
So happy you and your family enjoyed this pie! Best of luck to your son!!! <3 <3 <3
